Deus Stanislaus top scorer in Concacaf U-17 World Cup qualifying

Six goals in three games was enough to secure the golden boot for Fort Washington, Pa. native Deus Stanislaus at the Concacaf U-17 World Cup qualifiers.

Stanislaus, an early enrollee at the University of North Carolina, had four goals in the U.S. Under-17’s first match of the competition, a 19-0 blowout of Bermuda and followed up the performance with a second half brace against Haiti in a 9-0 win.

The U.S. defeated Puerto Rico 4-0 to secure World Cup qualification as the group winner. Stanislaus started and played the first half in the clincher.

The FIFA U-17 World Cup kicks off in October in Morocco.
