Forward Reid Stevenson (Sturgeon Bay) scored a pair of second-half goals as FC Wisconsin Nationals rallied for a 2-1 victory over St. Louis Scott Gallagher-Missouri in a U.S. Soccer Development Academy Under-17/18 match last Saturday in Fenton, Mo.

The home team took the lead in the game's opening minute, but Stevenson – who has committed to play at UW-Milwaukee next fall – pulled the Nationals level in the 50th minute and then provided the game-winner in the 71st with his team-best seventh goal of the season.

A day later against the Scott Gallagher-Metro side in Collinsville, Ill., the roles were reversed. FC Wisconsin (5-10-1) went ahead through Ohio State recruit Marcus McCrary (Madison La Follette) in the 11th minute, but Metro tied it in the 22nd and found the eventual game-winner in the 72nd.

Under-15/16: FC Wisconsin dropped both of its weekend matches, falling to Missouri 2-0 and Metro 2-1. Buran Huseini (South Milwaukee) scored his first goal of the season to tie Sunday's game in the 68th minute, but the home team went ahead in the 79th and saw out the victory over the Nationals (6-7-3), who are in eighth place.

Under-13/14: Ruben Mesalles (Kohler) and Joshua Her both scored equalizers as FC Wisconsin tied Missouri 2-2 on Saturday. Mesalles, playing in his first match with the team, opened his account in the 34th and Her added his first goal of the season in the 70th. The Nationals lost 2-0 to Metro on Sunday and are 3-8-3 on the season.

All three FC Wisconsin Nationals teams return home this weekend, with matches against Michigan's Vardar and Crew Soccer Academy Wolves. Play starts at 11 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday at the FC Wisconsin Complex in Germantown.
