Potomac SC features in weekend Development Academy action
5 Mar, 2008The US Soccer Development Academy was in action again this past weekend, with a featured match between FC Delco and Potomac in U-17/18 action. In a back-and-forth battle, FC Delco came away with a 2-1 victory behind a brace from Matthew Margiotta.
"The boys finally tonight realized their true identity. In the first half we saw the last gasp of our identity as a U17 squad.” Bryan Davis, head coach of Potomac SC said. “In the 2nd half we finally found our voice as a U18 Academy Team. I greatly anticipate our next game to keep that vibe going.”
Margiotta opened the scoring for DELCO in the 25th minute, after high pressure from David Cassenelli forced a turnover in Potomac’s defensive end. Cassanelli gained possession in the penalty area and slotted the ball for Margiotta, who took a one-time shot that deflected off a Potomac defender and into the goal.
Second-half substitute Nikhil Gregg made his fresh legs pay off, intercepting a pass at midfield and carrying the ball to the top of the box. Gregg slotted a ball into the stride of an on-rushing Margiotta, whose one-time finish beat Potomac ‘keeper Kerman Schloss to the far post.
Potomac finally broke through the DELCO in the 70th minute, when Streilein took a free kick that DELCO failed to clear, and Potomac’s Ifiok Akpandak took advantage of the loose ball, cutting DELCO’s lead to one.
