WEEK 5: Underdogs Find Some Results

BOXSCORES
CD GUNNERS 2 PENNSYLVANIA 2- The Stoners got 2 goals from Perlaza to start this match, but had to settle for a 1 point average since he played twice this week. The Gunners Marco Pappa also averaged 1 point this week, and Donovan Ricketts clean sheet earlier this week was voided out after giving up a goal on Sunday. In short neither club was able to break a 2-2 deadlock. Both clubs also had plenty of scores wasted on their benches. Lots of action, lots of chances, but only a 2 scores a piece.

UNION SC 2 SECOND CITY 1 - The Stars suffered their first loss of the season and in the BSL. The club opened the scoring off with a Bouna Coundoul clean sheet, but the rest of the starting line up failed to provide any addition offense. This was a big surprise since the Stars boasted the leagues top offense. Still, the game went on and the Blues were unable to score themselves. The Stars were clinging to a 1-0 lead up until the very end until Brek Shea scored twice to win the match all on his own. Its a 3 points Union SC needed badly.

ALAMO CITY 7 ALLIANCE 0- The Battle tied a BSL record for biggest margin of victory in a game. The 7 point win matches Gateway United's 7-0 win 2 years ago. After losing 3 in a row, this is just what Alamo City needed to get the season moving in the right direction. The Lions had no offense this week and the clubs 2 yellow cards let Henry into the game and the result was 2 more scores.

GOLD COAST 2 PN RANGERS 0- The Suns got 6 saves from Matt Reis and a goal from Kenny Cooper to double up on the Rangers. Frie did have a clean sheet for the Rangers, but then he played again this week and voided out his earlier work.

BURUD TOWN 0 HILLCREST UNITED 0- For the first time ever we have a BSL match that ended 0-0. It was no surprise that the Rainbows would struggle to score. What was a surprise was that the Stags would be unable to get one into the net. Espindola did have a goal on the bench but it would not count. Hillcrest United has a point in the standings.

  1. Yar! A game-tying assist by Brad Davis was unfairly discounted. USSF reffing...

  3. Luke Rodgers of the RedBulls, not Robbie Rogers

  4. It says Rodgers is on Hillcrest in the box score, so im assuming multiple people neglected to add him. I assume a player who put up 3 points would've garnered more interest, including from me.

  5. Hesmer is my starting and currently only Keeper.

  6. Woops sorry, was looking through the lineups but you had a bye. I'll go with Dan Kennedy then, instead of Hesmer.
