MVP? MV-Steve

The outdoor 'Wrecks played their final regular season game this past Sunday against the Scrubs, a team that had only lost once to date. With the Train Wreck's talent pool reduced to five men, without key contributors Oreste, Brad, Blair, Diego, Robert, Andrew, and Gustavo, the team relied heavily on passing excellence, a strong unit of women, gambling tactically, and Steve (goalie mercenary extraordinaire).

For this game, no poll needed -- Steve was man-o-the-match.

In the end, the game would result in a 1-1 draw. Thomas guided in the equalizer after the Scrubs opened the scoring with somewhat of a fluke goal. However, there was a victorious feeling to the match, especially given the advantages the Scrubs were afforded.

The effort was a satisfying way to the end our 11-game season, say good bye to Celina (who has mostly likely played her last Train Wrecks game), and wish Thomas a Happy Birthday.


Up next? Playoffs. June 1 is the date reserved for playoff games, and more information will be forthcoming. Train Wrecks held the 2nd place spot going into yesterday's tie.

The worst that the Train Wrecks can finish on points is 2nd. Pending the results of the Booty Booty - Meerkat FC game, goal differential may determine a tie-breaker with Booty Booty. Going into yesterday's round, Booty Booty was 2 points behind the Train Wrecks and 2 back in goal differential and the Train Wrecks owned the head-to-head result.
