WEEK 20: Playoff Clubs Are Set, Majors Still Unsettled

GATEWAY UNITED 6 ALLIANCE FC 5 - The game of the week did not disappoint. The Saints jumped out to a quick lead when Landon Donovan scored 3 points on his own with 2 goals and a assist. The Lions would fight back with DeRosario's brace and a Ching brace. However the real storyline would go to Andy Najar who's assist would be taken away in the 70th minute with a red card. That ejection would prove to be huge as the clubs traded off more scores before the Saints would finish 1 higher. The red card was the difference in this classic as Gateway United clinched a spot in the BSL playoffs for the 2nd time in club history and also gave the Saints the 2011 Barium Cup. SECOND CITY 3 PN RANGERS 0 - The Stars are heading to the BSL playoffs doing what was expected by defeating the Rangers. Congratulations to the first year club. GOLD COAST 2 ALAMO CITY 1 - The Suns narrowly missed the BSL playoffs in 2010, but thanks to Geoff Cameron's game winner, will be heading to this years playoffs. The club still has a mathematical chance at the Honors Trophy, but will need the CD Gunners to stumble to close out the regular season. UNION SC 3 HILLCREST UNITED 0 - The Blues got a brace from Collin Clark and a goal from Mastroeni to keep hope alive in the pursuit of making the 2011 Majors Cup tournament. PENNSYLVANIA 2 BURUD TOWN 1 - The Stoners win may have kept the club alive for some MC action, but it killed Burud Town's playoff aspirations. The Stags will not be returning to the BSL playoffs and will have to hope for a good showing in the clubs finale next week to see where it will finish in MC qualifiers. The Stags bye week is in Week 22.
