Despite Maryland State Cup final defeat, Baltimore Celtic hopeful of future success

The Maryland Under-18 State Cup final on May 31 brought together two of the state’s powerhouse youth teams as Olney Rangers faced Baltimore Celtic at the Maryland Soccerplex in Boyds, Maryland. Baltimore Celtic overcame Bayshore Soccer Club, Bethesda Revolution and SAC Pre-Academy in the previous rounds of the State Cup without conceding a goal, a run that took them to the final game and a shot at the 2014 US Youth Soccer Region I Championships. Rangers would come out on top by a final score of 2-1, and Celtic head coach Brandon Quaranta was quick to praise Olney and their coach Matthew Pilkington after their fifth straight State Cup victory.
