BOXSCORES
ST. LOUIS 4 CAPITAL DISTRICT 1

The Cure rolled to another victory extending its current unbeaten streak to 6 games. Several players contributed to the scoreline for St. Louis. Espindola scored in 2 different games with a goal and an assist to tally an average of 1 point. Javier Morales popped in 2 goals. Buddle got his 13th goal of the season and Brek Shea added in an assist. Capital District had a rough game that saw Juan Pablo Angel get a yellow card out of frustration. Fredy Montero was nailed in the box and was lucky to have continued the match. The Gunners are having a hard time finding points as of late, but still remain on 1 point out from a playoff spot.

MONTGOMERY 4 UNION SC 2

The Monarchs are on a roll earning another 3 points in the standings. This win was huge for the club as it was at the expense of the 2nd place Blues in the standings and really makes the chance of a playoff spot a real possibility now. The game started with Henry scoring an assist. LeToux would equalize for Union SC on Wednesday. The Blues would take the lead off a Ricketts clean sheet. Then David Ferreira scored a goal and assist to give the Monarchs a 3-2 lead. Chris Wondolowski could have tied it up, but was on the bench. Even though he was first in line to come in, Montgomery County had no yellows in the game. Kasey Keller put any drama to rest with a clean sheet of his own. The Monarchs have either won or tied all 6 meetings against Union SC.

GATEWAY UTD 2 GOLD COAST 0

Another hot team in the BSL is the Saints. Even without its Fire trio, the club managed to win its third straight game and move from 6th to 3rd place in the BSL standings. Danny Mwanga continued his excellent play by scoring a goal in each of his games this week. He only needed one to score the game winner. Jeff Cunningham added in the insurance score, which is his 3rd goal in 2 games. Gold Coast had very few scoring chances. Brian Ching, Justin Braun, Mista, and the rest were all very quiet on the pitch. The Suns were even given an extra man when Kandji came in off the bench and could not take advantage.

NEW YORK 3 BURUD TOWN 0

The upset of the week. The Greeks got their 3rd win of the season with goals from Lindpere and Larentowicz. Both players had not seen scores in months. Nick Rimando remained the rock that he is and continues to be the best thing that ever happen to the Greeks. The Stags really needed this win and just cannot buy 3 points in the 2nd half of the season. Thanks to the bunched up standings, Burud Town is still in the playoff race. But, sooner or later the club has to break its funk to have any chance at the playoffs because Majors Cup is a lost cause for the Stags now.
