Kings Hammer 0 vs South Bend Lions 0 – 7pm – TCU School Field, South Bend, IN – No Announced Stream

A goalless draw was nonetheless not without controversy as a late goal was disallowed. 

Flint City Bucks 0 vs Kalamazoo FC 1 – 7pm – Mayor’s Riverfront Park, Kalamazoo, MI – Eleven Sports PPV

De Lacio was the difference in the 88th minute for Kalamazoo, stealing 3 points and building the team’s margin at the top of the Great Lakes Division.

FC Wichita 0 vs Des Moines Menace 6 – 7pm – Valley Stadium, West Des Moines, IA – CISN

Des Moines continue their run of perfection with a dismantling of a FC Wichita who go to 0-5 on the season. The first goal came as early as the 2nd minute through Nil Ayats, James Thomas doubled the lead after 13. Matters were made immeasurably more difficult for the winless visitors when they were reduced to 10 men in the 23rd minute, the referee deeming that the defender had denied an obvious goalscoring opportunity. The third goal came only two minutes later through Alberto Suarez. Ayats scored again in the 28th. Sebastian Andreassen scored number 5 in the 35th minute and the last goal came in the 63rd, as the Menace looked invincible.   

Kaw Valley FC 1 vs St Louis Scott Gallagher 2 – 7pm – World Wide Technology Soccer Park, Fenton, MO – No Announced Stream

SLSG opened the scoring in the 23rd minute through Goddard, Bruch added to his earlier assist to make it 2-0 in the 50th minute and Kaw Valley got their tally only 4 minutes later through Meehan but could not score further. The home side extend their unbeaten run to 5 matches, without gaining any ground on the teams ahead of them.  

Friday:

Fort Wayne FC 1 vs Kalamazoo FC 1 – 6:45pm – Mayor’s Riverfront Park, Kalamazoo, MI – Eleven Sports PPV

Fort Wayne opened the scoring through Sammy Sarver in the tenth minute but division-leading Kalamazoo levelled the score with a penalty in the 78th minute.

Dayton Dutch Lions 2 vs Oakland County FC 3 – 7pm – Clawson Stadium, Clawson, MI – No Announced Stream

Oakland County claimed all three points with goals from Shannon, Steinwascher and Buca. DDL kept it close with goals from Stans and Erlandson. 

FC Wichita 0 vs Des Moines Menace 1 – 7pm – Valley Stadium, West Des Moines, IA – CISN

Zyan Andrade scored the only goal, off a rebound in the 25th minute, as the Menace stay perfect. 

Chicago FC United 7 vs Kaw Valley FC 1 – 7:30pm – Rock Chalk Park, Lawrence, KS – Eleven Sports

A hat trick from Wintermeyer, two from Gutierrez and a one from Sullivan saw undefeated CFCU romp to victory away at the University of Kansas. Salvadego scored for Kaw Valley, who also saw a red card in the 68th minute, at which point it was already 6-1. 

Saturday:

South Bend Lions 3 vs Toledo Villa 0 – 7pm – The University of Toledo, Toledo, OH – Eleven Sports PPV

In a nice piece of symmetry, three goals for the Lions bring them three points and a record of 3-3-3. 

Green Bay Voyageurs 1 vs St Louis Scott Gallagher 4 – 7pm – World Wide Technology Soccer Park, Fenton, MO – No Announced Stream

Goals from Klein in the 35th minute, Kraus in the 83rd and a double from Lynn (37 and 67 respectively) saw SLSG past the Voyageurs of Green Bay, although the GBV goal in the 55th minute from Stephenson had threatened to make it more competitive at 2-1.  

Chicago FC United 2 vs FC Wichita 1 – 7pm – Stryker Sports Complex, Wichita, KS – Eleven Sports

Goals from Chris Sullivan in the 17th minute and Andrew Akindele in the 49th minute lift the away side up over FCW.

Sunday:

Oakland County FC 2 vs Kings Hammer 3 – 4pm – Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH – No Announced Stream

Oakland County FC led this match for most of the first half, the lead coming through a Buca goal in the tenth minute, but a failure to close out the half would seem costly as they conceded an equalizer in the 42nd minute to Robinson and would not regain the lead the rest of the match. Further Kings Hammer tallies came from Erhardt and Ennin before Hooks scored in the 90th minute to make the score more respectable. 

Grand Rapids FC 1 vs Kalamazoo FC 2 – 5:30pm – Mayor’s Riverfront Park, Kalamazoo, MI – Eleven Sports PPV

Two Banuelos goals, in the 25th and 45 minutes took the division leading Kzoo FC up over their neighbors. Matty Cornish had the Grand Rapids goal. 

Flint City Bucks 3 vs Fort Wayne FC 0 – 6pm – Bishop Dwenger High School, Fort Wayne, IN – Eleven Sports PPV

In what I’m going to call the Battle of the Water Crests, it would be those unusual creatures – the waterborne Bucks who would prevail with goals from Amadou Cisse and a brace from Jacob Erlandson.
