U15 COMEBACK FALLS SHORT IN REGIONAL SEMIFINALS

In the semifinals of the US Youth Soccer Region I Championships, the Red Bull U15s dropped a 3-2 decision to the Boston Blast (Massachusetts) U15s this afternoon in Maine. After falling behind 2-0 at the interval and 3-0 in the second half, the Red Bulls mounted a spirited comeback, with John Agudelo and James Raytsin scoring goals to pull within one. The Red Bulls could not complete the comeback, but head coach Stan Lembryk was pleased with his side's performance in the tournament, stating, "The team continued to work as young pros to cut the lead to one. However, unfortunately it was not enough."

Group stage wins over EPIC Blast (West Virginia) 9-0 and Hockessin SC Cyclones (Delaware) 5-0 set up a match with Eastern PA representative, Brandywine United Galaxy to determine the Group C winner and the groups spot in the semifinals. The Red Bulls produced a 1-0 win to advance.
