Xtreme Falls to LMVSA, 6-5

Indoor Xtreme 98 headed into Sunday's game with former outdoor rival LMVSA Patriots 98 with high hopes, and although both teams delivered exciting soccer, it was LMVSA that emerged victorious.

Once again Xtreme let their opponents strike first, but the girls answered quickly with a tying tally. But the Patriots seemed to be hungrier, breaking the tie and pulling ahead - a lead they would never relinquish.

Xtreme delivered another thrilling game - applying great pressure on the Patriot keeper who made a dozen great saves in the final minutes of the game. Xtreme scored twice in the final 50 seconds to pull within one, but ran out of time before they could mount a final attack, hoping to pull out a tie.

Three games remain on the schedule. Next up, Alexandria Revolution on December 13 at 3pm.
