Three Eastern New York players have been named to the U.S. Youth Soccer Region I Boys 1994 ODP team that will compete in an international tournament in Costa Rica Feb. 7-12. The players were Samuel Durkot of Centereach, N.Y. who plays for the Smithtown club, Sean Sepe of West Islip, N.Y., who performs for Commack, and Henry Ryan of Albany, N.Y., who suits up for Guilderland.
The Region I side will play the Costa Rican National Team and teams from several local dominant clubs.
"This is an exciting time for the US Youth Soccer ODP Boys 1994 regional teams as they have worked throughout the past year to advance through their state and regional programs to hopefully have the opportunity to be selected for this international event," U.S. Youth Soccer ODP Boys chairman Brent Mangus said. "Not only will they have the opportunity to test themselves in international competition, but they get to experience the culture and lifestyle from a different part of the world."
The 1995 US Youth Soccer ODP Girls will compete in Costa Rica March 23-28.
