LAPL XV RESULTS
Serpio Alexander Baca Cup
And
the Champions are Crowned! FC90 has conquered them all and as champagne flowed, their loyal followers are already
discussing the birth of a dynasty and look to carry their vicotrious ways in to Season XVI. For Cloverfield, it was a
remarkable year and a sign that they have arrived and looking to challenge for the regular season trophy in 2010.
3-2
SEMIFINAL Recap
Two games that went down to the wire.... FC90 is
able to advance to the finals via sheer determination and grit where they are going to meet the team that seems to live for
the pressure of penalty kicks, Cloverfield FC. Place your bets now, this will be a match where there is not a clear favorite. Vegas says FC90 is the favorite due to previous big game experience, unless it goes to penalties where nobody beats
the Green Machine
3-2 
Valhalla
made a valiant run from the 8th seed, but FC90 is tough to beat come playoff time
1-1 
(CF wins in PK)
While Cloverfield might not have Oliver Kahn in the goal, they seem to be unbeatable when games
go to PK's as they win 3 in a row by shootout
QUARTERFINAL Recap
Hollywood is not to be denied. After coming up short in the regular season, the Stars are focused
on hoisting the Cup and end the fan favorite Matador squad's dreams of making the semifinals.
4-2 
CFC starts the upset train as they push Dinamo into PK's where CFC seems
to feel at home, winning their second match in a row at the penalty mark...

(CFC

Meanwhile, Valhalla
shocks the world! The Norsemen play
valiantly and knock off the champs and now the oddsmakers are lost at sea - will these seafaring men earn the crown of the
king?
5-3 
As usual, FC90 saves their best soccer for when it counts. After a mixed
bag regular season, they are stomping through the cup and los Coyotes are the latest team to fall at the feet of the seasoned
veteran squad.
2-0
