WEEK 9: Standings Tighten as Most Leaders Lose

ROSE CITY 4 ALAMO CITY 3 -The Flyers might have indeed won the clubs biggest match in its short history. Playing in the Game of the Week, Rose City was still in need of proving the club belonged in the top 4 and in a tight match against another playoff hopeful, Alamo City, the Flyers got a huge result. The scoring started when Rosales and Eddie Johnson teamed up together giving both clubs a score at the same time. Gspurning may have only played 45 minutes, but was able to give the Battle a 2-1 lead with the Sounders getting the clean sheet. Marvin Chavez first score of the week tied the game up, he would end up averaging 1 point, having scored again this week. Braun and Kennedy would open up a lead for the Flyers and Hill would pull Alamo City to within one. Eric Hassli did have the tieing goal on the bench for Alamo City, but the Flyers would get no cards in this one. The win puts Rose City in 2nd place in the league table and only APG behind Pennsylvania. BOXSCORE: Flyers- Rosales(1T), Chavez(1T), Braun(A), Kennedy(SP). Battle-Johnson(1T), Gspurning(CS), Hill(A), Perez(R).
