Looks like the best way to beat NW is to be a bit physical. CB had 17 v. 13 fouls against NW. Plus CB is almost all seniors-

I still think NN is better than their showing against Daniel. Obviously not the caliber of team they brought in years past, but still very solid. I guess we'll see after they play Wando today.

From what I saw NN and DF came to play, NN had something to prove after their loss to Daniel. The Wando NN game should be one to watch, wouldn't be suprised if either team won.

Somebody present please give us a little recap?

Riverside controlled most of the match. Fort Mill came out strong in the second half but failed to put a shot on goal until the last five minutes while the Warriors had 10. Matt Sluga scored an unassited goal in the 51st minute for Riverside. Fort Mill's Joe Cahill scored on an Anthony Patania assist in the 75th minute capitalizing on their only SOG to manage the draw against Riverside with the final 1:1.

Riverside has had this problem throughout the season so far. They are a well coached side, but the players haven't put together a full 2 halves of quality, and their finishing chances could be better. It will be interesting tonite to see how a "tired" Riverside squad plays against an inspired BC team with nothing to lose.

Riverside has to learn to "go for the jugular".

Riverside lost a very good forward this season due to school issues. I believe that this is a big factor in their ability to finish. Add this player to their lineup, and they are much more dangerous offensively.

You're absolutely right ! Hopefully Riverside will continue to improve and give a good defense of last year's crown.

And hopefully that young man they lost will get things right and come back next season....he's a great player.
