U15 BNT 3, FC WESTCHESTER 0

In the win against the Westchester, the match got off to a low-key start and the New York side moved the ball a bit better in the opening half. Still, Jon Villantoy (Met Oval ? NY) put the U.S. up 1-0 with his goal.

The U.S. showed more intensity in the 2nd half and scored a couple of nice goals. Marco Carrizales (FC Dallas - Texas) scored one goal and Sebastian Velasquez (Los Alamitos SC - California) had the other for a 3-0 margin of victory.

A handful of team members earned major plaudits, including midfielder Maul Corboz (NJSA ? New Jersey), left back Alfred Edmonds (De Anza Force ? California) and center back Mykal Riley (Arsenal ? California). Corboz in particular did a good job of distributing the ball. Ryan McNamara was good for Westchester.

This was the better game of the evening and was marked by a strong performance in central midfield from the U.S. U15 BNT?s Collin Martin (DC United ? Maryland). Martin was very clean on the ball, composed and keeps it moving with aplomb. Jalen Robinson (Bethesda SC ? Maryland) and Andrew Change (Sockers ? Illinois) were effective in defense.
