FC Milwaukee USSDA Homestand Continues
 May 07 2009 - CL

 Last weekend marked FC Milwaukee’s best weekend of competition in nearly 18 months of competition in the US Soccer Development Academy, as both the Under-16 and Under-18 teams earned a win and a draw in divisional play. The Under-18 team beat St. Louis Scott Gallagher 3-1 and tied SLSG-Metro 2-2, while the Under-16 team beat SLSG-Metro 2-0 and tied St. Louis Scott Gallagher 0-0. 

“The points were nice to get, but more importantly the teams played well in all four games,” said FC Milwaukee USSDA Director Christian Lavers. “The players kept composure in possession, and consistently created chances in both games. Just as significantly, we avoided some of the mistakes in possession that have caused problems for us in previous games. I really feel that the boys are maturing as soccer players, and both teams are in position to make a run at play-off qualification.” 

FC Milwaukee U-18 USSDA Head Coach Billy Solberg agrees. “As a group, the teams are embracing the concept of one program, not two teams, and individually they are becoming more disciplined and mentally tough. It has been fun to see the changes, and the improved results are a great reinforcement.” 

FC Milwaukee continues its homestand on Saturday, May 9 with 2 important divisional games against the Chicago Sockers at Wisconsin Lutheran College. The Under-16 team plays at 5:00 PM and the Under-18 team plays at 7:30.
