CAPITAL DISTRICT 7 SECOND CITY 4 - The game of the week got off to an interesting start when the Stars were late on lineup selection. The Gunners began the scoring with Richards and Pontius grabbing goals in weekday action and then the action really heated up. Second City would mount an impressive comeback tieing the score at 4-4, before the Gunners reclaimed the lead with Mendoza's 2 goals and Rosales adding more insurance. In a match full of drama, there were even more headlines. Donovan Ricketts played 24 minutes before suffering yet another Gunners team injury, but was rewarded a clean sheet with some help from his friends. UNION SC 4 GATEWAY UTD 4 - The Blues continue to score points and find ways to avoid wins. This time in a great fight against the rival Saints, the club matched the men in green pound for pound. After Lindpere scored, Alonso would equalize. After Davies scored, Mapp would equalize. After Mwanga scored, Clark would equalize. Then the Blues jinx came into play once again. Nielsen had 7 saves in game one of the week, only to have only 2 saves on the weekend to blow the SP average. Then the Blues had yellow cards from Alonso and Nielsen to allow Friberg to come in off the bench for the Saints and he scored. Brek Shea's late goal would equalize the score again. Then on Sunday Conor Casey scored the game winner. But wait!!! He later was ejected with a red card and the game winner was taken away. So many opportunities to win what could have been the biggest 3 points of the season and those chances were wasted. GOLD COAST 5 PENNSYLVANIA 2 - After struggling on offense for the last 2 weeks which dropped the Suns from first place, the Burgundy boys found the net in a 5-2 romp over the Stoners. Omar Bravo had his best week since opening day, and Kyle Beckerman was on fire with 3 assist for a 2 point average. ALLIANCE 2 BURUD TOWN 1 - The Lions extended their unbeaten streak to 8 games (6-0-2) after narrowly defeating the Stags. The game winner came off a Maicon Santos goal. ALAMO CITY 0 HILLCREST UTD 0 - The biggest upset of the week came from the Battle's inability to get a score off of the Rainbows and capture 3 points in the standings.

Not that it mattered in the end, but I don't see how you can give Ricketts a shutout for 24 minutes of work...
