WEEK 17: Pennsylvania Reclaims First Place in BSL

ALAMO CITY 3 ROSE CITY 1 - The Battle got 2 goals from Kris Boyd to avenge an earlier loss in the season to the Flyers and put some distance between the clubs in the race for the Honors Trophy. The victory is the 7th straight (win) for Alamo City, which breaks the BSL record held by the St.Louis Cure back in 2010. However, even with all this good news, Alamo City fell to 2nd place behind Pennsylvania who now owns a better APG. BOXSCORE: Battle- Boyd(G G), Peterson(G), Hamid(R), Henry(Y). Flyers- Saunders(SP), Chavez(Y).

Spartans- Koevermans(1T), S.Johnson(CS).

CD GUNNERS 4 SECOND CITY 1 - The Gunners continue the clubs 2nd half push and improved to 3-2-1 in MCQ.

Stars- B.Davis(G A -1LF), Joseph(Y), Beckerman(R).

  1. Not that it really matters, but if I'm reading my match's box score right, shouldn't it have been Capital District 4 and Second City 1.

  3. Killing me here! Not only do I lose to the Battle, but it's done with Boyd's brace that wasn't enough to put Portland over LA. Not a good soccer week for me.
