NPSL This Week: The Final- RVA FC and Sonoma County
It's RVA and Sonoma County for the trophy...
RVA FC knocks off Erie 4-0 for the eastern entry...
Here's your highlights...
((HT: WRIC-TV))
WRIC Richmond News and Weather -
Kharlton Belmar scored twice for RVA and caught up with Vic Dorr, Junior of the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
“I knew we had good enough players to compete,” Belmar said. “But my first thought was, ‘OK, let’s do that; let’s show we can compete; you know, have a good, strong season.’ I’ll admit: I never thought things would turn out the way they have.”
The undefeated expansion team goes into the final at 9-0-2...
In the west, FC LVU Sonic- your defending champs- were knocked out 3-2 by the Sonoma County Sol...
The Sol scored in the last minute of regulation to get the win, and it gives us the excuse of showing their celebration from practice one more time before the end of the year...
"This is exactly where we want to and expected to be," Sol game-winning goal scorer Taylor Varnadore said after the game. "We have played this way all year long and are continuing to come up with the right solutions to each game."
Watch the final hyah Sunday night at 7PM eastern time...
And here's something new for league supporters when it comes to the end of season awards...
The fans get to submit who they think the Supporter's XI should be for the award hand outs...
From the league:
Send a list of your favorite 11 players to vote@isnsoccer.com. You can choose one goalkeeper, four defenders, four midfielders, and two forwards. Voting starts now and ends on Friday at noon.
The winners of all the awards will be announced throughout the weekend. Thank you for your support of the NPSL!
Looks like CFC's Gregory Hartley and GBFC's Bozidar Jelovac are tied for the most votes at any position...
Check in with the league on Facebook and see what else is going on before the title game...
A note from the HQ: We would like to thank all of the teams, fans, and the league for being a part of our coverage this season. We'll have one more wrap-up for you after the final with the Finals report and a look at the Supporter's XI
