The fifth week of games provided plenty of suspense. 3 of the 4 games were decided by 1 point as team operators were forced to wait until the final minutes of the last Sunday game to find out their decisions.
The C.D. Gunners awoke from their slumber to post their best game since the opener. The teams 6-2 win over the Kickers was highlighted by having 5 players on the score sheet.
D.C. Forever took an early 2-0 lead over Motor City after Friday, but needed the help of its new Goal Keeper, Pat Onstad, to preserve the three points in the standings and win 4-3.
The league's top two offense's went head to head only to slug it out in a last minute nail-bitter. Montgomery County got 2 goals from Kenny Cooper on the last game of the week to overcome a 2-1 deficit and pull out a 3-2 victory over Gateway Utd.
Meanwhile the league's bottom 2 offense's did not disappoint. Union S.C. continues to live dangerously and rack up the points in the standings thanks to a 1-0 snoozer over Gaithersburg City. Brian Ching's first goal of the season was the difference.
Alright time to make some early season roster moves. I'm dropping Fred and picking up Chris Pontius.
ReplyDeleteI am desperate to start scoring. Anybody want to trade players with me.
ReplyDeleteRasov is moving to the starting XI and Rojas is moving to the bench until i can find a suitable replacement for him. so much for looking good in the preseason.
