Players Development Academy dismantled Hershey FC 5-0 on the road in NPSL action on June 17, with goals from B. Valeri (3'), D. Grace (45'), N. Olson-Warwick (66'), L. Mullen (81'), and M. Porto (84') sealing a comprehensive victory.

PDA wasted no time establishing control. Valeri opened the scoring inside three minutes, finishing off a move involving G. Vitella to put the visitors ahead before Hershey had found their footing. The early goal set the tone for a one-sided affair, with Hershey unable to generate any meaningful response as the half wore on.

Grace doubled the lead right before halftime, making it 2-0 at the break and leaving Hershey with a mountain to climb in the second half.

That mountain only grew steeper. Olson-Warwick added a third in the 66th minute,
