The Angel City 7s roared back this week to two convincing wins, with ACFC stomping on McDermott 12-3 and Angel City FC routing La Masia 6-1.
ACFC, now sporting two wins and a tie, started their McDermott match slowly but built up a strong passing game which eventually yielded high stakes. With a win never really in doubt, the squad notched 12 goals (Angel Matos (4), Ciaran Howell (2), Francisco Vercher (2), JD Jurentkuff (2), Grieg Richardson, Freddie De Leon) to McDermott's three. The win was gratifying after the squad's dismal 1-0 loss to the team last season.
Angel City FC (2-0-1) continued the success with a 6-1 win over La Masia, a match where goal-scoring and great keeping from Logan Redlin were in equal supply. Scorers included Francisco Vercher (PK), Zac Blois (2), Nick Manocelis, Dorian Cervantes and Jonathan McCormick.
Despite a second half surge, the AC Allstars (1-1-1) were not as successful, losing a tight match 5-3 to a solid Marvista SSS Yashin. Francisco Vercher, Jonathan McCormick and Luis Deveze scored for the home side.

Angel City posts trio of 7s wins on opening day
Angel City kicked off SMASL 7s Summer action with a trio of inspired wins, Saturday at the Santa Monica Airport fields..
ACFC started the day off with a hard-fought 6-4 win over Malibu United, who topped the Angel City Soccer League two weeks ago with a cup win.
Angel City teams have been notoriously slow starters in the past, particularly when an early match time is involved. But striker Angel Matos quickly set the standard for the day by stealing back a ball within the first four minutes and slotting a slicing shot past the Malibu keeper.
Play was back and forth between the two evenly matched teams, but ACFC's scoring success -- including a hat-trick from Mike Silva and a brace from Matt Marshall -- and their defensive prowess held back a strong effort from Malibu. Marshall's first strike was impressive, involving three successive headers past defenders and then a chip past a sprawling keeper. ACFC Keeper Juan Ortiz had a strong match.
ACFC next sees action against Moss Adams FC June 23 at 11:30 AM.
Angel City FC continued the opening day streak with a come-from-behind 7-5 win over FC Montalban. Behind at several points during the match, Angel City never gave up, slowly reeling in the win despite a few missed goal-scoring opps.
Tahar Betbout topped the score sheet with four goals, while David Woirhaye, Sammy Xaylitdet and Craig Blois added singles.
Angel City FC next see action against a tough SUDAMERICA squad June 23 at 12:30 PM.
Finally, the AC Allstars capped the afternoon with a convincing 6-1 win over the LA Suns. Yuri and Scott Hernandez each capped a brace, while Ian Worrel and Mike Gemballa added singles on the day. Keeper Christian Olde Wolbers made several key saves in each of the final two matches.
The Allstars play the Foot Soldiers next Saturday with a 1:30 PM kickoff.

Malibu United take second ACSL Cup
Malibu United rallied from an early 1-0 first-half deficit to win 3-1 over Serie A Division winners LA Plushdamentals in the ACSL Cup final Saturday evening in Playa Vista.
The LA Plushdamental's Robbie MacDonald scored around the 10-minute mark off a counterattack, but United's Damon Manak notched two goals on either side of the halftime break off a pair of cracking shots.
And Devan Myers sealed the victory with a breakaway goal about 10 minutes from time. Manak narrowly missed earning a hat-trick ... after being taken out in the box, his PK attempt was saved by the Plushdamentals guest keeper, Logan Redlin, who made several key saves throughout the final to keep the game close.
Both teams played three consecutive games and were feeling the pain during the finals.
The LA Plushdamentals road to the final included tough victories against ACFC (3-1) and the Slutty Buffalos (6-5). In the semis the team fought back from a 5-2 deficit and the expulsion of their goalie on a double yellow card to win against the Buffalos.
Malibu United knocked off Real Talk 6-3 in the quarter-finals and revenged two regular season EPL losses -- 8-4 and 6-3 -- to Angel City FC, with a convincing 5-0 semis victory.
United, also winners in Spring 2010, are the first team to win the ACSL Cup title twice.
In the consolation final the Slutty Buffalos -- the Serie A Division winners -- knocked off EPL Division winners Angel City FC 7-6.
