GAME 18: Standings Tighter, 2 Clubs Clinch Majors

BOXSCORES

GOLD COAST 6 NEW YORK 0

After being blanked for 2 straight games, the Suns came out blasting on route to the clubs biggest win in club history. Brian Ching lead the way with a hat trick. Also on the score sheet was Jewsbury, Garey and Hartman. The Greeks used up all their 8th ranked offense last week and had nothing to offer this game. The result is a huge win for Gold Coast propelling the club into 2nd place in the BSL standings and giving the club a 4 point lead in Majors Cup qualifying with only 2 games remaining on the season.

MONTGOMERY 5 GATEWAY UTD. 3

The two hottest clubs in the league did not disappoint as both sides got good production. The Monarchs just did better and moved to only a single point from a playoff spot. Meanwhile the Monarchs stellar 2nd half clinched a Majors Cup spot for the club (currently in first place). The Champs did not qualify for the Majors Cup group stage in 2009, so this will be the clubs first opportunity. Gateway United is still very much in both races and continues to show a renewed strength.

BURUD TOWN 5 ST. LOUIS 2

The Stags broke the slump to get the clubs first win since Game 10. It was a big one too as Burud Town man-handled St. Louis to its 2nd ever loss. Kei Kamara scored a goal and 2 assist to be the player of the game. The Cure must be content on the clubs current clinching and must not be interested in the league records for wins and points as the owner made no roster moves. The result was 2 scores left on the bench. The Cure did clinch a Majors Cup group stage spot even with defeat.

UNION SC 2 CD GUNNERS 2

The Blues are desperate to make the playoffs and seem to be doing it one point at a time. Once again the club would have to settle for a tie. The Gunners got scores from its RedBull tandem of Angel/Marquez, but was blanked the rest of the way. Union SC finally got a goal from DeRosario after a very long absense, but needed a Wondolowski goal to salvage the tie.
