UWS National Championship
Friday Semi-finals:
Midwest United v CT Fusion – 6pm – Round Rock Multipurpose Complex, Round Rock, Texas – Eleven Sports
The Midwest Regional champion Midwest United out of Grand Rapids, MI have rolled through the season so far, accumulating a record of 9 wins and 1 draw and they dispatched Corktown AFC on penalties to arrive at this stage against the surprising Fusion side. The Eastern Conference playoff champions entered the post season as the #3 seed in the East but with a goalscoring streak similar to MUFC. Midwest United’s defense could prove key in this match.
SA Athenians v SC Blue Heat – 8:30 pm – Round Rock Multipurpose Complex, Round Rock, Texas – Eleven Sports
The Southwest Conference #2 seed San Antonio Athenians finished the regular season with 9 wins and a loss but they ended the perfect season of Lone Star Republic in the playoffs to secure the SWC title. They face Santa Clarita Blue Heat, the Western Conference’s #1 seed with a record of 4 wins and 2 draws. Both teams have strong defenses.
