What is going on at USSF Academy Playoffs? Day 4 & 5

A LOT!

This weekend, the two CASL USSF Academy teams, Under 16 and 18 boys, are vying for a spot in the 8 team finals to be played in Milwaukee in July. There are 32 teams in each age bracket that have a chance out of the 80 plus teams that play in the USSF Academy leagues. Each 4 team group will play a round robin format with the winner going to Milwaukee. The groups are seeded by Pods of eight. CASL's Under 18 team due to their great season is in Pod A (top eight teams), in fact they are the overall #1 seed just ahead of the MLS' FC Dallas Under 18 team.
The Under 16 team is in Pod B, the group of the top 9-16 teams.

Here are the schedules:

Under 18
Friday 7:30 pm CDT v Concorde (GA) Fire FINAL: 2-1
Saturday 6 pm v Colorado Rush FINAL: 2-2
Monday 11 am v Albertson (NY) FINAL:
A win or tie by Albertson and they are the group champion and go to the finals in Milwaukee in July; a win by CASL and the Triangle players head to Wisconsin.
1/2 time score: CASL 1 Albertson 0
Final Score:   CASL 2 Albertson 0
Goal Scorers:  Mombo scored the first goal with 10 min left in the first half and Ryan McAnellen score off a header with little time left in the match

Under 16
Saturday 11 am CDT v FC Dallas  FINAL: 2-1
