A New England team was amongst the sides that were crowned champions at last weekend’s annual USL Academy Cup in Tampa, Fla.
The Western United Pioneers’ U-15 squad captured the title in the U-15 Premier Division. The club, based in Western-Mass., was the only club from the region to take home a championship at the four-day showcase.
It was a truly dominant showing for the Pioneers, who outscored opponents, 8-0, over four games. They won Group A, courtesy of victories of 2-0 over FC Miami City, 1-0 over Virginia Beach United, and 4-0 over Detroit City FC.
