NPSL This Week: July 5th, 2013

Let's start out West...

Northern Division looks like it's going to be Sonoma County and Sacramento advancing. A win over San Francisco won't help the Gold's position and Sonoma gets CD Aguiluchos- all this will be is for points and pride before the post-season...

In the South, it comes down to a game between San Diego and FC Santa Clarita for the second playoff spot...
Whoever wins is in and whoever loses goes on vacation...

A win last week by FC Hasental kept the two tied at the hip...
Here's a talk with Milan "The Godfather" Radovic before the FCSC game...
((HT: FC Hasental their ownselves))


Midwest Section

Central Division has three teams for two spots with two weeks left. Quad City, Milwaukee, and Madison are all within five points of each other. Quad City enters a brutal four game-eight day stretch- at Eau Claire and home to Madison this weekend. The Bavarians, currently four points in arrears, are off until Wednesday. But they'll have three games in five days and Madison plays three matches in six days starting Sunday.

Great Lakes Division

It's Detroit City FC with the division title- undefeated through ten games with two road contests left this weekend- AFC Cleveland and FC Buffalo. Buffalo and Erie are three points apart with the Wolves having a game in hand- this weekend is at Zanesville and DCFC in town.

FCB spent some time on the WNLO-TV Morning Show...


South Section

Mid-Atlantic Division

One thing we do know is RVA advances as the winner. DCUnited needs a win over CASL Elite to tie Myrtle Beach on points. But the Mutiny would get the second spot on goal differential...

South Central Division

It's Tulsa and Liverpool... that we know... they play each other for points Saturday at Liverpool...
And the Athletics, too, got some time on a local morning show...
((HT: Fox 23 Tulsa))


South East Division

Three teams, two spots...

Chattanooga and Gulfcoast are done, but if Rocket City wins hosting Knoxville, they could sneak into the second spot.
CFC clinched the division title with their 1-0 win over New Orleans
((HT: Mad Kemp))


Sunshine Division

Jacksonville United and the Georgia Revs are the 1-2. They each get their shot at Tampa this weekend...

Northeast Section

Atlantic Division

Four teams are still eligible for post-season and division as this division gets another crash course to get to the end of the season in one piece. The NY Red Bulls and the Brooklyn Italians are two points apart for the top. Red Bulls have four games in eight days- starting this weekend. The Italians have three games left- all at home- including a big one next weekend hosting Red Bulls. The NYAC and the Seacoast United Mariners need to win and win big the rest of the way to get into the picture, but they're not mathematically eliminated yet.

Keystone Division

It's looking more and more like three teams-two spots, but we'll know more after this weekend...

It's FC Lehigh Valley and FC Binghamton separated by a point and Junior Lone Star four points back in third. FCB has a game in hand over Lehigh Valley, but Lehigh Valley gets cellar dwelling Buxmont Torch to finish out their season.

Clarkstown and FC Hershey need to win out and need a lot of help to get in...

Player of the Week

The winner, for the week ending June 23th, is Chattanooga FC goalkeeper Gregory "Greggaa" Hartley.

Hartley has maintained a clean sheet at Finley Stadium all season. His most impressive performance came against the Gulf Coast Texans on June 22nd as he saved shot after shot despite CFC going down a man for part of the match.

The Manchester, England native was a star at Georgia Gwinnett College, where he was named to the 2012 NAIA Men’s All-East Region Team after posting 11 shutouts.
