Saturday's Results; A flurry of upsets

In what can only be called a 'flurry of upsets', the Oregon State Cup bracket was turned on its ear after Saturdays games. Here are the results and the implications.

O.C. 4 vs BSC 2
If O.C. can pull an upset in Bend tomorrow, they could knock Rush out of State Cup and represent 2nd place in the C Group and play LOSC in the QF's.

Arsenal 2 vs PCU 1
With this win Arsenal tied EMFC Magic for the top spot in D Group. They will go head-to-head Sunday to determine who will occupy first and second spots.

OR Rush 0 vs FC Platinum 1
Upset #2. This win solidify's FC's first place in C Group and the Rush vs O.C. game will determine 2nd place.

Sherwood Force 1 vs SSC Hotspur 0
Upset #1. This loss gives SSC an early exit from State Cup and boosts Sherwood into the 2nd place spot to take on the first place seed in B Group for QF's.

RVSC 0 vs FC Ruby 5
Upset #3. Since Ruby scored 4 unanswered goals that will put them in a tie with Hotshots (but ahead in goal diff). If Sodium beats Hotshots, even 1-0, FC Ruby will advance as #2 in B Group.

Wow, what an amazing day.

If Sodiums defense can rise up and keep the Hotshot forwards in check, if Sodiums offense can keep the momentum and cap off the first round with a few goals, then Sodium will rocket into the Quarter Finals leading in 2 important categories; goals for (we have 10 now), and goals against (we have 0 now).
Don't underestimate your opponent, score early and often and don't let your foot off the gas.

Never give up, Never back down, Never lose faith.

GO SODIUM!!
