WEEK 12: Limited Rosters Bring Tighter Scorelines

GOLD COAST 1 GATEWAY UNITED 1 -The Suns were unable to hold onto a 1-0 lead that was established with a 7 save performance by Matt Reis. Danny Mwanga's late goal earned the Saints the clubs third tie in a row in the clubs third "game of the week" in a row. With each club earning a point in the standings, Gold Coast retains first place and Gateway United remains only 1 point behind, but does drop to third place in what is shaping up to be the tightest race for the Honors Trophy ever. In years past, the standings leader has been a runaway. BURUD TOWN 2 ALAMO CITY 2 - The Stags controled this match early with scores from Hartman and Espindola. Alamo City cut the lead in half with a Nick Rimando clean sheet, but it was the heroics of Lenhart that gave the Battle the clubs first ever point against Burud Town. ALLIANCE 2 UNION SC 1 - The Lions evened the clubs record to 5-5-1 thanks to scores from Rodgers and Chavez. After stumbling to a 1-5-0 record, the Lions are 4-0-1 since. At this pace the playoffs are still a real possibilty. Meanwhile, the Blues have lost 4 straight now and have put the playoff picture behind. The target for the 2010 BSL Cup Champions has become the 2011 Majors Cup. CAPITAL DISTRICT 3 HILLCREST UNITED 1 - The Gunners scored first this week with a Camino goal on Wednesday. Then the Gunners scored 2nd this week with a Josh Saunders clean sheet on Friday. Castillo added some insurance over the weekend. Hillcrest did make news by managing a score. Yes, Alexandre's brace earned the Rainbows an offensive point even with a lineup failure. PENNSYLVANIA 1 PACIFIC NORTHWEST 0 - Timing is everything. A week after the Stoners needed every bit of its 5 scores to beat Union SC, in this match the club managed just one score. Lucky for the Stoners it would be enough against the lowly Rangers. Frei had a clean sheet for the Rangers too, but that was taken away in a lineup failure. Pennsylvania did just enough to grab 3 points.

  1. I know Majors Cup qualifying just started, but the order your clubs are in are not random. CDG really is in 1st. has better APG than Alliance and Alliance has better APG than Pennsylvania.
    Burud Town really is in 4th place. Both scored 2 points so same 2nd half APG, but Burud has a better head to head record against Alamo.
    Etc etc.

  6. We had one before and owners very sloppy on updating it. It had a lot of old info. Thinking of a way to prevent that from happening again. That's why I got rid of the last TRADING BLOCK section.
