Gunners / Mounties Advance to Majors Cup!

There is going to be a new Majors Cup champion in 2017 as Gateway United was eliminated from contention very late this weekend. Even though the Saints took care of business and came from behind to defeat Cumberland 4-3, the Mounties held on for a draw 4-4 against Hawaii to preserve 4th place in the MCQ table. For a while it appeared as if Tim Melia would have a clean sheet to win it for Hawaii and thus allow the Saints to advance, but a late goal sealed the result and push SC Canada into the tournament for a third straight year. Meanwhile, Capital District got a hat trick from David Villa to give the Gunners a late victory and clinched the clubs record best 8th trip to the tournament. The round robin beings 9/13.
