 For
the second straight tournament Baseline came in as the NO.
1 seed and once again they were ousted in the first game.
Baseline (0), Blackbirds (1) the first game of the night did set
the tone, it was very competitive, great soccer with both teams
passing well, they went into the half (0-0). The second half was
even more competitive and the Blackbirds' Norman Lasquez capitalized
on the only mistake made by Baseline's defense for his second
goal of the tournament and the game winner.
 The
second game NO.2 seed Vasco (1) defeated Plaza Boys (0)
like game one this contest was very competitive with great soccer
with both teams attacking and defending but Vasco had Kenny "Controller"
Second on their side. The score was tied (0-0) at the half but
that would change 5 minutes into the second half when Anders Khan
would net his second of the tournament from an assist by Anthony
Joseph. Controller then secured the victory and a spot in the
finals by not letting any ball or player pass him.
 The
final game of the tournament featured two teams that had played
each other in the round robin style round with Vasco edging
out Blackbirds (1-0). The only difference this time was more
goals were scored, Vasco (5), Blackbirds (2). Blackbirds
came out in full attack mode with all four players moving forward
in an attempt to get past Controller, this left them vulnerable
and Anthony Joseph made them pay on a fast break. Blackbirds kept
the same strategy and once again the same result this time Shawn
Castle on a counterattack. They finally pulled one  backjust
before the half via Fedir Ilnitskyy (2-1). The Blackbirds
started the second half looking for the equalizer and again found
themselvesdown by two when Anthony Joseph netted his second. Midway
in the half Fedir got his second of the game to make the score
(3-2), but that is as close as they would get, Vasco produced
successful counterattacks and on one of them Shawn got his
second of the game (4-2) and just before the final whistle
Anthony scored again giving him his third for the game (5-2).
