RECAP New York Red Bulls U23s drop match to Baltimore Bohemians

The New York Red Bulls U23s dropped their second match of the year, losing to the Baltimore Bohemians, 2-1, at the Red Bull Training Facility.

The U23s gave up a goal in the 13th minute after Malcolm Harris played a one-two with Jordan Becker. The Baby Bulls tied the match in the 45th minute after Alex Tejera (Red Bulls Academy/Siena) headed in a Kevin Politz (Red Bulls Academy/Wake Forest) cross for his third goal of the season. Unfortunately, the visiting Bohemians scored the game winner in the 80th minute thanks to a Shawn Geary goal off a Michael Scott assist.

Goalkeeper Evan Louro (Red Bulls Academy/Michigan) made five saves. The Red Bulls out-shot the Bohemians, 15-7.
