NPSL Western Week 2 Review-Preview: May 23-26

Golden Gates Conference

Sacramento Gold are off and running and only Sonoma County can catch them...

8 games in and the Gold are 6-1-1 and 6 points clear of the Sol. They're also a plus-16 so far. They knocked off both Real San Jose and San Francisco in the last week 1-0 and 2-0. They host Sonoma County in an already-must win situation for the Sol.

CD Aguiluchos, San Jose, and San Francisco are already jockeying for third, fourth, and last only separated by a point.

The Stompers get the week off. CD goes to Real San Jose on Sunday.

Northwest Conference

It's all Spartans Futbol Club right now... 7 games, 7 wins, and a plus-24 in goal difference. They knocked off Gorge FC 4-0 last week and have a home game against Inter United. Inter has only one win so far and are a minus-13.

Seattle Sporting FC is second, but only have ten points on the year. That could be padded with their game with Gorge FC this weekend. Gorge FC are winless and have a goal difference of minus-17.

Southwest Conference

It's a three-team race with FC Force, the San Diego Flash, and FC Hasental.

Force are in the middle of a four-game homestand and should add another three points to their totals with the game against cellar-dwelling Del Rey City. DRC are winless in nine with a minus-26.

The San Diego Flash are second, four points back with 20, and got a big win over Hasental last weekend 2-1. Brandon Zuniga scored twice in the 46th and 61st minutes. next up for the Flash is a match against FC Santa Clarita who they beat 6-2 back on May 2nd.
