FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (May 16, 2025) – The 2024-25 MLS NEXT season continued last weekend as the New England Revolution Academy’s Under-18s, Under-16s, and Under-15s were in Boyds, Maryland competing in the 2025 MLS NEXT Flex tournament.
The U-18s opened group play last Friday, playing St. Louis CITY SC to a 1-1 draw. A late own goal from the opponent helped New England level the match, though the Revolution fell 4-3 in the ensuing penalty shootout. New England played a tightly contested match against Barca Residency, 3-2, in its second fixture of MLS NEXT Flex. Sage Kinner (2007 – Burlington, Vt.) and Cristiano Carlos (2008 – Chicopee, Mass.) both tallied in the match.
The U-18s closed out the tournament with a 1-0 win over Jacksonville FC. Midfielder Jordi Tornberg Ayala (2006 – Revere, Mass.) scored the lone goal, while goalkeeper Owen Beninga (2007 – Jackson, Wyo.) collected the clean sheet. The U-18s concluded the tournament with a third-place finish in Group J.
The U-16s fell 1-0 to Orlando City SC on Saturday, followed by a 3-0 shutout victory against ALBION SC Los Angeles on Sunday. Levi Katsell (2009 – San Diego, Calif.) led the attack with a goal-and-assist performance, while Kaleb De Oliveira (2009 – Somerville, Mass.) and Kaisei Korytoski (2009 – Newport, R.I.) each netted a goal. The U-16s closed out Flex action, dueling Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a 3-3 draw. Judah Siqueira (2009 – Easton, Mass.) recorded a goal and assist, joining Brandon Velez (2010 – Concord, Mass.) and Harley Kerr (2009 – The Plains, Va). on the scoresheet.
The U-15s fell to Houston Dynamo FC, 3-0, on Saturday. New England then went on to play Miami Futbol Academy Rush to a 2-2 draw, winning 3-0 in the penalty shootout. Frankie Caruso (2010 – Newton, Mass.) converted from the penalty spot in the second minute, while Musah Adamu (2011 – Manchester, Conn.) added another in the 31st minute. The U-15s third fixture against Modesto Ajax United was canceled due to inclement weather.
All five Academy teams are back in action this weekend as the U-18s and U-16s host D.C. United on Saturday, while the U-15s, U-14s, and U-13s take on the New York Red Bulls on Sunday. Click here to learn more about the New England Revolution Academy.
