WEEK 21: Playoffs and Majors Cup Spots All Clinched.


CD GUNNERS 2 ROSE CITY 1 - The Gunners will not be defending the clubs BSL Cup, but thanks to a great second half to the season, will be defending its Majors Cup title in 2012. The 2-1 win clinched a spot in the Majors Cup tournament. The Flyers will have to wait another week to see who the club will play in the playoff semi-finals. BOXSCORE: Gunners-Montero(G), Rivero(A). Flyers-Saunders(CS), Sapong(Y).

SPARTANS 9 ALAMO CITY 2 - The club best known for ties, pulverized the first place Battle with a new kind of tie. The Spartans tied the 2 year old record for most points in a single game scoring 9 and easily winning the match and putting the Honors Trophy debate in question for the last week of the season. Five players on the New York roster contributed to the scoresheet. BOXSCORE: Spartans- Cahill(A A), Zusi(G Y A), DeGuzman(A A), Juninho(G G), S.Johnson(A). Battle- Henry(A), DeLeon(G), Kandji(Y).

GATEWAY UNITED 7 GOLD COAST 1 - The Saints broke a 1-1 tie, by getting 6 scores on Sunday to turn a close match into a blowout. Chris Rolfe got 2 goals to get the win, and then Landon Donovan popped in a career high 4 assists in the Sunday nightcap. The result gives Gateway United mathematical chance at the Honors Trophy, and also a chance at the record for best APG in a season. With the win, Gateway United clinched the clubs 3rd time in the BSL playoffs and 2nd time in the Majors Cup.  BOXSCORE: Saints- Mullan(A), Rolfe(G G), Donovan(A A A A). Suns-Larentwicz(G), Lindpere(Y), Bernier(Y).

BURUD TOWN 4 PENNSYLVANIA 4 - The tie did not help either club as both needed maximum points. The Stoners could have won the match with MacDonald's score left on the bench as the first substitute. Burud Town did have a yellow card, but did not pick up a 2nd card in the match. Will this result cost Pennsylvania the Honors Trophy? Next week is the seasons finale. Pennsylvania clinched a spot in the Majors Cup for the 2nd time. BOXSCORE: Stags- Ferreira(G Y), Lenhart(G), Richards(G), Mattocks(A). Stoners- Camilo(G A), Kamara(A), Keane(G).

UNION SC 2 SECOND CITY 1 - Marco Pappa's late assist would prove to be enough as the Blues edged the Stars to get the clubs 7th win of the season. BOXSCORE: Blues- Gaudette(CS), Pappa(A). Stars- Nyarko(A).
-
ALLIANCE 1 KC QUEST 0 - Andy Najar's assist and a Quest Line-up failure was enough to get the Lions a slim victory. BOXSCORE: Lions- Najar(A), Lade(Y). Quest- Bunbury(G -1LF).

  3. We're just putting it out there that we're looking for trades even at this late date. Having a bit more firepower going into the playoffs would be welcomed in the Rose City. Let us know if there's anyone on our current roster you're interested in.

    1. Thanks. I feel stupid now. I guess I expected it in a headline somewhere. It seemed a bit strange that there wasn't one.
