Three Sporting Kansas City Academy teams enjoyed winning starts to the 2019-20 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season on Saturday, combining for a tripleheader sweep of the Michigan Wolves at Swope Soccer Village.
The Sporting KC U-15s, U-17s and U-19s all emerged victorious on the first matchday of the inaugural DA Cup, which will run in three stages concurrently with the Development Academy regular season to determine a DA Cup champion.
The tournament began Saturday with the Fall Group Stage, which will see the U-17 and U-19 squads playing in regional groups with hopes of advancing to the 32-team Winter Cup.
