GAME 13: Monarch's streak ends as others continue own fortunes

BOXSCORES

Things are beginning to tighten up in the standings. We begin with the match of the week as Gateway United ended the Monarchs 11 game unbeaten streak with a 4-3 victory. The win gives the Saints a 4-game winning streak and more impressively is the team did it without Landon Donovan again. Unlike previous weeks it was Montgomery County that had the early lead before Fredy Ljundberg came up with a goal and assist to give the Saints the edge.

Another hot team is D.C. Forever who got excellent production from newly acquired Cam Weaver. Infact, it is his 2 total points that was difference in the 5-3 win over Motor City. More good news for D.C. was the return of Darren Huckerby who had been sidelined with injury.

Union S.C. got a late Sunday goal from Eduardo Lillingston to break up a 1-1 tie and propel the Blues to an all important victory to keep the team 3 points ahead of Gateway United for the last playoff spot and bring the Blues to a points tie with Montgomery County.

Capital District held on to become the leagues first 10 game winner by defeating Garden State 5-4. The Kickers made it interesting with 2 goals from Schelotto on Sunday, but it would not be enough and the Gunners now have a 5 point lead for first place in the standings and have won 4 straight games as well as 8 of their last 9.

There will be a short break before the next set of games is set to begin on July 4th.
