Nyk Sessock will get a chance to make it back-to-back national titles for Philadelphia Union Academy / YSC Academy grads when Indiana plays Marshall for the College Cup final on Monday night.
Indiana beat Sessock’s former school, Pitt, on a late goal by Herbert Endeley to take a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish. Sessock transferred to Indiana after spending his first two seasons in college in Pittsburgh.

Late in last week s 1-0 loss to Austin FC, Minnesota United coach Adrian Heath called upon rookies Justin McMaster and Patrick Weah, searching for something, anything.
The Loons nearly scored the tying goal and earned a precious point they so badly need on Weah s first MLS touch.
Heath didn t hesitate to select Weah, last winter s 17th overall SuperDraft pick and a homegrown player, in the game s final minutes. They re so excited about being in and around the first team, sometimes they go out and play with no fear and just try to create something, Heath said. Patrick came off the bench and his first touch was nearly a goal.
