McLean’s U-18s pull off sweep at ECNL National Event in Sanford

By Jimmy LaRoue

Just one local team managed a sweep of its games at the ECNL’s National Event in Sanford, Fla. over the weekend, but there were a number of strong and notable performances.

Going up against a strong, 15-0-1 Concorde Fire team, the U-15 FC Virginia squad fell 2-0 Friday in the ECNL’s second National Event in Sanford, Fla.

FC Virginia, who came into the event 7-0-1 in Mid-Atlantic Conference play and had given up just one goal in conference play, would fall again, 3-2 on Saturday to Charlotte Soccer Academy. Both those losses for FC Virginia came to teams in the Southeast Conference.

On Sunday, FC Virginia played Challenge FC to a scoreless tie.

McLean Youth Soccer’s U-16s fared better, picking up two wins and a tie over the weekend, including a win over Southeast Conference leaders Orlando City YS, who came into the event with a 12-2-2 record and featured a trio of 10-goal scorers. However, McLean held Orlando City to a single goal in a 2-1 win Saturday. McLean also won Friday against Scorpions SC but managed a 2-2 tie against FC Wisconsin Eclipse, who came into the event with a 2-10-3 record in Midwest Conference action.

McLean’s U-18s pulled off a sweep at the event, scoring wins against Connecticut FC (2-1), Penn Fusion (1-0) and East Meadow Soccer Club (3-0).

Freestate’s U-17s, having started strong in its first two games–both wins–picked up two wins in three matches in Sanford, but fell to Midwest Conference powerhouse Sporting Blue Valley 4-0 in Saturday’s game, in between a 7-1 win over Albertson Fury and a 1-0 win over Southeast Conference leaders Charlotte Soccer Academy.

Richmond Strikers’ U-18s scored two wins in three matches, including a 5-2 win over SoccerPlus Connecticut. In that match, Kelly Siewers had a pair of goals, while Virginia Sroba and Ellen Taylor each had a pair of assists. In a 4-0 shutout of Colorado Storm, Sydney Arnold and a pair of goals and an assist, while Eleanor Sullivan also scored twice to lead the Strikers, who were able to shut down 14-goal scorer Sydney Raper and a formidable Storm offense.

Bethesda SC’s U-18s put a strong showing in a 1-1 tie against a Michigan Hawks side that reached the national finals last year.
