The field for Frisco is almost set.

One last full weekend of action in the Development Academy saw the playoff pool draw one step closer to being cemented, as Wildcard spots were locked up.

A few remain up for grabs heading with five more games left on the season, as the regular season schedule will be completed on Saturday, and the playoff draw scheduled for June 17, and competition moving to Texas a week later.

Here’s a look at who helped themselves this past weekend, who didn’t and the division leaders in both age groups:

East Conference 

The Red Bulls continued its march to an impressive season with both of its age groups in the Academy with another unbeaten weekend. Facing BW Gottschee on Saturday, a team still holding an outside hope of a Wildcard spot at the U18 age group, the Red Bulls eased to a 4-1 win to dash those dreams. Arun Basuljevic, Vincent Brunetti and Jhon Estama accounted for New York’s offense. The Red Bulls U16s also took care of business with a 2-0 victory.

A pair of less than ideal results may have knocked New England Revolution U16s out of the playoff picture. Needing at least three points from two games over the weekend, the Revolution could only muster one – drawing 0-0 with Seacoast United, and FC Westchester topped the squad by a 1-0 score line on Sunday for the blow which knocks them outside the points per game threshold. 

Division Winners

Atlantic: PDA (U16), Baltimore Bays Chelsea (U18)

Northeast: New York Red Bulls (U16), New York Red Bulls (U18)

Southeast: CASL Chelsea (U16), Weston FC (U18)

 

West Conference

A crosstown rivalry over the weekend was a bit one sided, as the Seattle Sounders Academy picked up two wins against nearby Crossfire Premier. The U18s received a boost from the return of Jordan Morris, who scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 win, while the Sounders also won the U16 encounter 3-1.

Division Winners

Northwest: De Anza Force (U16), Vancouver Whitecaps (U18)

Southwest: Chivas USA (U16), LA Galaxy (U18)

 

Central Conference

With a 3-1 win over its partner Metro club, St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri took one step closer to a postseason spot via the Wildcard by grabbing all three points. Austin Panchot and Mark Segbers provided all the offense in the game’s first 36 minutes of the game for the winning side. 

Thanks to a 3-0 win against in state DA counterparts Minnesota Thunder Academy, Shattuck Saint Mary’s U18s secured first place in the Mid-America Division with the three points. Minnesota U16s edged the other matchup of the day, 1-0.

Division Winners

Frontier: FC Dallas (U16), FC Dallas (U18)

Mid-America: Crew Soccer Academy Wolves (U16), Shattuck Saint Mary’s Soccer Academy (U18)
