It was a light weekend for Riverhounds Development Academy (RDA) matches, with only the boys and girls teams competing in ECNL league play taking the field.

The RDA's girls teams played a home-and-home pair against Ohio's Internationals SC, hosting the Saturday matches at Montour Junction before traveling to Medina, Ohio, for Sunday's games.

Facing the same opponent twice afforded the 00/01 Girls a chance to learn from mistakes. After dropping their first match, 3-2, the Hounds tightened up their defense and came away with a 1-0 road win -- despite having just one substitute -- by virtue of a 25-yard strike by Caroline Swan.

The 03 Girls also had a strong weekend despite a slow start, as they rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 2-2 draw Saturday with goals by Anna Durmis and Tessa Dellarose. The momentum stayed with the Hounds on Sunday; Dellarose fired in a hat trick for a 3-1 victory.
The boys teams played both their matches in the Buckeye State against Ohio Premier, and the 00/01 Boys played a pair of high-scoring contests that resulted in 19 goals over two days.

Nathan Dragisich, Zach Ullum, Ethan Hackenberg and Gavin Benson scored Saturday for the 00/01s, who rallied for a 4-4 draw after being down 2-0 and 4-2. The scoring went even higher Sunday, as Dragisich and Fletcher Amos scored twice, and Ullum and Hackenberg also scored in a 6-5 win.

The 03 Boys also ended their weekend with a big turnaround, shutting out Ohio Premier by a 4-0 score just one day after conceding five times in a loss against the same team. Will Sangpatchatanaruk, Lucas Hammerle, Eben McIntyre and Sam Farner scored the RDA goals in the Sunday win.
