WEEK 22: Stoners and Lions Clinch Majors Cup

ALLIANCE 5 GOLD COAST 2 - The Suns quest to repeat as Majors Cup Champions has come to an end. This winner advances and loser goes home match began with the Suns taking a 2-0 lead early in the season finale. Then offense ran dry and Alliance FC found its groove. First Maicon Santos scored. Then DeRosario and Najar added 3 more points. Finally Brian Ching added another on Sunday to seal the deal and clinch the Lions a place in Group B of the 2011 Majors Cup tournament . The Suns will have to regroup for the playoffs next week. PENNSYLVANIA 5 GATEWAY UTD 3 - The Stoners picked up 4 players in time for the season finale against the Saints and one of them, Jeff Larentowicz (the former Gunner) scored a goal. The Game was tight until LeToux's two penalty kicks gave Pennsylvania some breathing room. The win secured a spot for the Stoners in Group A of the 2011 Majors Cup and eliminated the Saints who will have to gear up for the playoffs next week. UNION SC 4 CD GUNNERS 4 - Getting a taste of their own medicine, the Gunners had a win taken away after the Blues scored twice on Sunday to salvage a point and stop the Gunners from a second 47 point season. The tie keeps the Gunners unbeaten streak intact as a busy postseason is ahead. Meanwhile, the Blues season is over for league sanctioned action, but perhaps an oversea's tour could be planned. ALAMO CITY 3 SECOND CITY 1 - The Battle finished the season off strong winning both 2011 matches against the Stars. However, its Second City that will be playing next week and also in the Majors Cup, so the loss does little to affect the clubs current situation. PN RANGERS 0 HILLCREST UTD 0 - The last game for both clubs.

  2. And what's worse is that it was Nagbe who tied the score.
