NPSL Semi-Finals Review/Preview

The NPSL is down to its Final Four

One semifinal is in Chattanooga as Chattanooga FC taking on Sacramento Gold...

Chattanooga beat Tulsa Athletics in the South Regional final at Finley Stadium
((HT: Mad Kemp))


Lansing United takes on Red Bulls Under-23's in the other semi at the Red Bulls training facility. The larger issue with this match-up is capacity in New Jersey. It doesn't currently meet minimum standards for attendance in a semi-final and there is no word on how the league is going to have Red Bulls meet capacity- or if they are at all.

The fans in Lansing are less than pleased at the turn of events.
The first year franchise won the Midwest after beating Fort Pitt in the final.
Here's the celebration...

NPSL Week 9 Midwest Region Review/Preview

Central Conference

The top five teams are only separated by 8 points. Quad Cities are on top with 16 that included a 2-1 win over FC Bordo last week. Madison 56ers are only one point back at 15 after their 2-1 win over Minnesota TwinStars. Minnesota United Reserves are 3rd at 10 after their win over Eau Claire and TwinStars put 7 on Aris the next night- Aris are still winless this season.

This week, Quad Cities hosts United Reserves. TwinStars play at FC Bordo and Quad Cities. Eau Claire have the weekend off.

Great Lakes East Conference

This one is fun...

Four points among four teams...

AFC Cleveland had the week off and the group came back to them. Fort Pitt won two out of three and now have 11 points- beating FC Buffalo and Erie Admirals at home before losing at FC Buffalo in the return. The Wolves are now at 10 points with Erie at 8.

Here's the first half of the 4-0 Fort Pitt win over FCB

Great Lakes West Conference

Another street fight with three teams- Indiana Fire, Detroit City FC, and Lansing United all within three points of each other (18, 17, and 15). The Fire had a four-point weekend- beating DCFC and drawing Lansing United. Cincinnati Saints and Michigan Stars are tied at 4th with 9 points.

Here's the highlights from the 1-1 draw between Indiana and Lansing
