NPSL Week 10 Midwest Region Review/Preview

Central Conference

Quad Cities is ahead and the group behind seems to taking good pieces of each other...

The Eagles lead is 5 over Madison (20-15) while FC Bordo (11) and the Minnesota squads TwinStars (9) and United Reserves (also 11) are all within reach of one another for the home stretch. Eau Claire Aris are still looking for their first win of the season.

Last week, QC pulled out 4 points against the Minnesotans while Madison watched. TwinStars lost to FC Bordo and Quad Cities while United reserves drew the conference leaders. Aris also had the weekend off.

This week, QC are at United. Madison also travel there. Aris also travel to TwinStars.
The Eagles did a little behind the scenes thing to let us know how they hold up before games
((HT: QC Eagles))


Great Lakes East Conference

This is one of the most fun conferences to pay attention to all season long...
Four teams now separated by five points... AFC Cleveland (15), Fort Pitt Regiment (14), Erie Admirals (11), and FC Buffalo (10)

Last week, AFCC beat FCB but lost at Erie. Fort Pitt lost a crossover match with Indiana Fire, but beat Cincinnati. FC Buffalo also lost to Lansing United, 2-1.

Here are those highlights
((HT: Lansing United their ownselves))


This week, Erie hosts Buffalo but then travels to Cleveland. Fort Pitt also goes to Buffalo Sunday.

Great Lakes West Conference

Another scramble, but in two separate groups...

Indiana Fire are a point ahead of Le Rouge (21-20) with Lansing at 18. Then, Cincinnati and Michigan are paired at 9 points heading into the weekend.

After beating Fort Pitt, Indiana lost 4-0 at DCFC.
Here's goal number two for DCFC, a spectacular free kick
((HT: Sam Raffa))


Michigan was idle.

This week, Indiana are off and Detroit City can make some serous moves with a game at Michigan before a home game with Cincinnati. Lansing does the reverse- hosting Cincinnati before heading to Michigan.

How We Got Here

FC LVU Sonic

Greater Binghamton FC was defeated 1-0 by FC Lehigh Valley United Sonic. The Sonic, defending 2012 NPSL National Champions, had been beaten twice this season by GBFC. This is Sonic’s third trip in four years to the NPSL National Semifinals.

The only goal of the game was scored in the 57th minute by Sonic’s Lance Dotzman on a shot 12 yards out directly in front of the GBFC goal on a centering pass from Matt Baker.

Here's the highlights...
((HT: WBNG-TV))


GBFC finished the season with a 10-2-2 record, winning the NPSL Keystone Division title. Sonic (11-3) won their third Northeast Conference title in four years.

Sonoma County Sol

The Sol beat Golden Gate Division rivals Sacramento Gold 3-1 in extra time. The Gold are the only team to have beaten the Sol in 2013, losing in a U.S. Open Cup qualifier, going 3-1 overall...

The game was tied at 1 going into extra time, where the Sol scored 2 goals in the first 15 minute half. The game-winning goals were scored by Brenton Frame and Cory Taufer.

RVA FC

RVA FC held off Chattanooga FC 1-0 at Sports Backers, but it was more of an adventure that CFC will remember more than anything. After a bus accident, the coach's flight delay, and a thunderstorm, the fans that drove nine hours each way got a good one...

Here's your highlights...

Erie Admirals

Erie traveled 270 miles to Detroit last weekend to beat Le Rouge, and then they went another 600 miles to Bettendorf, Iowa, for their quarterfinal with QCFC. Erie Admirals upset the Quad Cities Eagles 1-0 Saturday evening in the Midwest Championship game.

Erie’s game winner came from Afrim Latifi who scored on an assist from Billy Colton...
