ACFC bows out in semis
Angel City dropped two games to That's What She Said in ACSL Cup action Saturday at Playa Vista, forcing the club to settle for a consolation final win against Malibu United and third place overall.
The Allstars went down 4-2 in the quarterfinals to TWSS with James Green and Dave Wardell scoring in a game which could have gone either way. Then ACFC, who received a bye in the semis based on their EPL title standing, took on TWSS in an end-to-end, action-filled match which saw both teams holding onto the lead at times. With about a minute to go ACFC scored to make the game 4-3 -- and looked to have sealed a finals berth -- but the tenacious TWSS netted a tying goal with literally seconds on the clock. ACFC went down 2-1 in the PK round, with James Green netting the only PK goal. Green had two goals in regular time, as did Brad Miller.
While Typhoon FC went on to win the Tom Bry Cup, 4-3 over a tired TWSS, ACFC netted the consolation final honors with a 6-3 win over Malibu United.
ACSL action resumes in the Fall.
