Union Academy teams stay hot with wins over PDA

The U18, U16 and U14 teams all picked up Ws on the road at Players Development Academy on Saturday in U.S. Development Academy play.

The Philadelphia Union Academy U18 team conceded its first goal of the calendar year but still held on to win their seventh straight game and avenge an early season loss at Players Development Academy on Saturday.

PDA midfielder James Murphy, who spent time with the Union U14 team in 2012-13, scored in the 26th minute to snap a six-game scoreless streak for the visitors but by then the Union had already gotten the goals it needed to secure three more points in the race to catch first place New York Red Bulls in the Atlantic Division standings.
