Over the weekend, LA Galaxy II trotted out its youngest starting lineup in club history for the team’s 1-1 draw against Orange County SC on Saturday, April 22.
10 players 20-years-old or younger took the field for Los Dos for the opening whistle, making for a team that averaged an age of only 19 in the team’s fifth match of the season. Four of those players – Ian Lonergan, Jorge Hernandez, Jonathan Estrada, Alex Juarez – are current members of the Galaxy Academy. Additional Academy reinforcements Zico Bailey (16) and Jake Arteaga (17) entered the match in the second half.
