Philadelphia Union Academy U18s win division, U16s qualify for playoffs

The Philadelphia Union Academy teams closed out the U.S. Soccer Development Academy regular season in grand fashion with a sweep for the U18 and U16 teams over rival MLS academies from D.C. United and New York Red Bulls.

A 3-1 win over D.C. United on Saturday at YSC Sports and a 1-0 win over New York Red Bulls at Villanova University on Sunday was enough for the U18 team to win the Atlantic Division for the first time. Their 19-5-2 mark heading into the playoffs is the third best in the country.
