Impact U15 owns the second half
The Impact U15 controlled the game from the beginning to the end. Nonetheless, Dominique Moring were only ahead 1-0 at halftime after an own goal from the visitors.

With this 6-0 win, the Impact solidifies its place at the top of the Northeast division with a 12-0-2 record.
Impact U17 fights back for the draw
Seacoast United was first to score in the 17th minute, after a defensive error from Montreal.
The Impact U17 managed to come back in the second half when Mouhamadou Kane scored, in alone against the goalkeeper after receiving a pass behind the defenders from Matthew Catavolo. Sean Rea hit the bar twice in the end of the game, but the Impact couldn’t find a way to get the winning goal.
With its 10-5-2 record, Nicolas Gagnon’s team hangs on to first place in the division, but Beachside Soccer Club is not far behind with a 9-4-3 record.
The Impact U19 bounces back
Montreal’s U19 team had a tough weekend in Massachusetts the week before, getting only one point from two games.

Philippe Eullaffroy’s team is getting closer to New England, now second in the Northeast division with an 8-5-2 record.
