UPSL Match to Watch
Last week, I picked a big matchup in the Pacific Northwest Conference. St. John’s FC hosted Deportivo Rose City and maybe it could have been predicted, but SJFC blew the doors off DRC, 6-1. The massive win puts St. John’s 5 points clear over the rest of the conference, in the driver’s seat for the rest of the season.
SC Heat vs. San Lee FC
It’s the final regular season match for SC Heat who have been stellar all season. The team has been in cruise control, going a perfect 8-0 so far. Clearly, SCH has intentions of staying perfect heading into the playoffs, but third-place in the Mid-Atlantic Conference, San Lee FC, has other ideas. San Lee has played well this season, particularly on the road (3-0-1), but still sits 10 points behind the front-runner. SCH has built up 24 points this season on the back of a stellar offense (34 goals in 8 matches) and miserly defense (just 6 goals surrendered this season). Will the trend continue? We’ll find out Saturday at 6pET.
