Rampart FC 1, RVS United 0 (2OT)

Great effort from 10-man RVS in keeping a clean sheet for game's first 103 minutes at a rain-soaked West Seneca Soccer Complex. We had loads of half-chances, and a few clear cut ones, but RVS bunkered down -- including special performances from their two center backs -- to stifle our attempts.

We finally broke through in the dying moments of the second extra session, as Steve Kurpiewski's run down the middle of the field drew the RVS defense to him, and "Puker" threaded a short through-ball to Anders Gunnersen, who picked out the lower-right corner for the winner.

It's pretty clear why RVS are 2-0 in league -- even among the 10 that showed up, there was some quality. Best of luck the rest of the way.
