The Sporting Kansas City U-16s kept pace at the top of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Frontier Division standings with a resounding 8-1 win over the Colorado Rush on Saturday at Swope Soccer Village.
The victory moves Sporting KC (16-4-1, 49 points) level on points with first-place FC Dallas (16-2-1, 49 points), who own the head-to-head tiebreaker by virtue of greater points per game. The U-16s are well positioned to qualify for the Development Academy playoffs from June 20-26, with the top three teams in each division guaranteed a berth to the postseason tournament in Westfield, Indiana.
