Angel City takes trio of ACSL wins

Angel City took things up a notch in week two of ACSL Spring League play Saturday at Playa Vista with a trio of wins over AWOL Select, TWSS and Real Talk.

Backed by some superlative saves from keeper Juan Ortiz -- who played between the uprights for all three matches -- the Allstars started things off with a 6-4 win over Real Talk, boosting the squad into a tie for second place in Serie A with Typhoon FC ... three points behind Del Rey City.

ACFC continued the run with a 6-3 win over AWOL Select, leaving them at the top of the EPL, three points up on the Swamp Donkeys and FC Playa Vista.

And Angel City FC rounded out the day's results with a hard-fought 5-4 victory over TWSS, leaving them solidly in second place in La Liga, three points behind Malibu United.

AC Cuties blank Cosmos 12-0



Angel City returned to Southbay Sports League action today, dominating the Cosmos from the opening whistle. Manager Miguel Lopez was pleased to see his team playing a patient, passing game, even as the Cosmos' frustration turned physical.

AC's defense continued its fine run of form, led by Goalie Logan Redlin who capped off his 3rd shut-out of the season by joining in the attack and scoring the team's 12th goal of the day from the penalty spot.

Angel City sits in first place with a record of 5-0, midway through the regular season. They play Sporting Boyacan next Saturday at 7:30pm at Aviation Park.





Logan Redlin on the spot.

Angel City ended their first full season in the LA Premier League Thursday night with a tough first Cup Round loss to Pacific Athletic FC 1-1 (4-3 on PKs).

ACFC, which finished the regular season in 10th place with a record of seven wins, 13 losses, two ties, came out hard against PAFC and created several goal opportunities, including two dipping shots which were tipped over the crossbar by PAFC keeper Alex Collins. The score stayed 0-0 until midway through the second half when ACFC gave up a penalty with a takedown in the box. Down 1-0 ACFC fought back and tied the game with minutes remaining off a corner kick.

However, the squad went down 4-3 in the Penalty Kick Round, with two of the five shooters being stopped by the PAFC keeper. ACFC keeper Pete Marlenga also managed to save one of the five PKs.

PAFC now moves forward to the second round Monday against the Coyotes at Crossroads. Other second round match-ups include:

Valhalla vs Penmar (April 1)
Celtic FC vs FK Dinamo (April 2)
Avanti vs Cloverfield (April 2)
