NPSL West Week 3 Review/Preview
Golden Gates Conference
It's two halves- the two teams up top and the three teams below...
Sacramento and Sonoma County are three points apart, but Sonoma actually beat the gold last week to draw closer, 19-16. CD Aguiluchos knocked off Real San Jose 3-1 to move to third with 10 points. San Francisco Stompers are fourth with 8 and RSJ are last one point back.
This week, Sonoma County have to sit while Sacramento play CDA. Real San Jose and San Francisco battle it out at the bottom of the table.
Northwest Conference
It's still Spartans Football Club and everybody else. 8 games, 8 wins, 30 goals scored and a GD of plus-26. Seattle Sporting FC is safely in second with 13 points. inter united and Gorge FC are a distant third and fourth. Last week, Spartans beat Inter 2-0 and Seattle put 6 on Gorge FC.
This week, it's one versus two and three versus four: Spartans host Seattle and Inter United host Gorge
Southwest Conference
FC Force still only have the one blemish on the record at 9-0-1 and are four points clear of San Diego Flash. The Flash have to consider every game a must-win to the end of the season to keep in step with Force and stay ahead of FC Hasental.
The Flash beat FC Santa Clarita last week, 12-0
Nathan Medina led the way with 4 goals and Alessardo Canale had a hat trick
((HT: SD Diego))
Hasental put five on the board in their win over Temecula, 5-3
Here's the game
((HT: Garrett Reese))

NPSL This Week: July 13, 2013
Well, it's playoffs for some and the end of the regular season for others as they get ready for the playoffs...
Let's start with what we know...
Western Region
It's FC Hasental vs. Sacramento- Saturday 5:30 local time... but the more interesting situation came from the battle for the #2 seed in the Southern Division. The San Diego Flash make it through to play Sonoma County Saturday night on an odd situation- surviving a 1-1 draw with FC Santa Clarita. But not without controversy...
Okay, a lot of controversy...
In the 72nd minute, the Flash was awarded a Penalty Kick. Jose Torres took the kick, but this happened...
((HT: SD Diego))
But, then, according to the Flash:
Finally in what was obviously the play of the match, a Storm player was given a Penalty Kick opportunity in the 78th minute. The goal was converted and it look as if the Flash would have to come up with an equalizer with only 12 minutes left. Enter the Center Referee. To the astonishment of almost everyone in the stadium, the goal was waved off.
When asked for an explanation of the call afterward, the referee explained. A Storm player was assigned to take the PK. In his attempt, he stutter-stepped. At that moment, one of his teammates encroached on the area. This gave the referee the right to disallow the goal. Now, should the PK be retaken or should the Flash be given the ball? The ref gave the ball to the Flash.
FC Santa Clarita Storm have filed a protest with the National Premier Soccer League after the match. So for now, the Flash have won their way into the Playoffs. We’ll hear from the league in a few days to see if the score and or the game stands.
FCSC lost the protest... San Diego moves on...
And how do the Sol celebrate (or break it down) after a refreshing workout...???
It goes a little something like this...
((HT: The Sol their own selves))
Midwest Region
The Central Conference still has a game left on the board and the Bavarians have a game in hand over Madison for the weekend to determine who is in with Quad Cities and who goes home. The Bavarians have a game with Eau Claire and one with Quad City on the last day of the regular season.
In the Great Lakes Conference, Erie and FC Buffalo play each other in the first round of the playoffs while Detroit City FC and AFC Cleveland go at it as well. Le Rouge will be hosting a two-day tourney at Cass Tech to determine who gets to play at Quad City next Saturday. Winners win out and move on...
The HQ gives a tip of the hat to Dion Degennaro (@DionDege) for the update...
South Region
The Tulsa Athletics, South Central Conference champs host Chattanooga FC, the winner from the Southeast Conference. The match will take place at Tulsa’s historic Drillers Stadium on July 13 at 7:30 pm CST. Tickets, priced at $5 for general admission and $10 for reserved, are available at the gate or online at https://www.tulsa-athletics.com/tickets/.
Mid-Atlantic Conference champion RVA Football Club will host Jacksonville United FC from the Sunshine Conference. That match will take place on July 13 at 8 pm EST. The venue is Richmond’s Sports Backers Stadium, which is located at 100 Avenue of Champions. Tickets are $5 at the gate with season passes being honored as well.
RVA knocked off Chesterfield United 4-0 to get the match-up... Don Smart scored twice...
Here's their celebration...
((HT: Grover Gibson))
Jacksonville beat Tampa last weekend 2-1 to solidify their place in the second season...
Here's some highlights from Jax United their own selves...
Atlantic Region
These two divisions still have some work to do...
In the Atlantic, it's still the Red Bulls and the Italians. We just don't know the seeding...
The Red Bulls have a game in hand, but play Brooklyn Saturday afternoon...
In the Keystone, it's Lehigh Valley and Binghamton as the 1-2. We just don't know the total points they'll have in the end of the year. And if Binghamton wins twice, they could have the division.
Binghamton had last weekend off while Lehigh Valley beat Buxmont 5-1...
Player of the Week
The winner, for the week ending June 30th, is Myrtle Beach Mutiny striker Tom Butler.
Butler has been one of the South Region’s top goal scorers all season. Most recently he had a hat trick in a 3-3 draw with RVA FC on June 28.

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...
((HT: WMBF-TV))
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.
