Dante Polvara and Will Sands have added another national championship to their trophy cases.
The Freshmen New York City FC Academy products helped Georgetown University clinch a first-ever NCAA men’s soccer title last night at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina, where the Hoyas defeated the Cavaliers from the University of Virginia by a score of 7-6 on penalty kicks after a back-and-forth 90 minutes ended all even at 3-3.
The New York natives both played pivotal roles in the NYCFC Academy squad that won the 2018 Development Academy National Championship in July – a second consecutive Boys U-18/19 Academy title for Matt Pilkington’s Boys in Blue – and have spent considerable time training with the First Team over the past couple of seasons.
