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)

The Angel City over-30s returned to Muni League action Thursday night -- following a year's absence from the league -- with a convincing 6-0 win over newcomers Larchmont United FC at Griffith Park.

The squad, which will now likely include some of the LAPL over-30s players, next faces off against SC United at John Ferraro, April 7 with an 8:50 PM kickoff.
