Three Sporting Kansas City Academy teams returned to winning ways on Saturday as the U-15s, U-17s and U-19s combined to sweep a U.S. Soccer Development Academy tripleheader against Texans SC Houston at Swope Soccer Village.
All three sides had suffered road losses to the Houston Dynamo last weekend but bounced back on Saturday with victories over another Houston-based opponent. The U-15s did so with a pair of first-half goals from Cody Casanova and Gage Akalu, prevailing 2-1 to capture their third win of the 2017-18 Development Academy campaign.
The U-17s (8-6-1, 25 points) climbed to third place in the Central Conference's Frontier Division with a narrow triumph of their own.
