Under the Lights: Port City FC (UPSL)

January 30, 2023 by Joshua Duder

“During our struggles early in the season we still took the 2nd place and 3rd place teams to close matches with only one goal differences in both. With only 4 matches left in the season, we really hit our stride with 3 wins in those last 4. The loss being from the conference champion and the only perfect winning record team in the UPSL, the SC United Heat from Colombia, in which we only lost the match 1-0, having gained nothing but respect from them.”
