-- We have lots of guys coming off injury, Brian Williams and Dylan Rose now, but the odds that they'll be fit before the end of the year seems low. Navarro is back too and hasn't been out quite as long.
-- Never mind, Rose is hurt in his first reserve match back. He's done.

Wake Forest Cougars (10-3-6, 5th) vs Huntington Hammers (10-3-5, 3rd)
Attendence: 243
We dominate these guys, 4-0-0 lifetime, including a 2:0 win earlier this year.
Starting Lineup
GK: Gyan
D: Campbell/Pickering/Forrest/Jackson
DM: Villa
M: Tapia/Shakespeare
AM: Davidson/Cooper
ST: Reynoso
Navarro is on the bench today and will come in if there are any issues (he may come in anyway). I don't think he can go 90 though.
10': We have a throwin on offense, its passed ahead to Reynoso on the left side, passed to Davidson in the area, he shoots, but wide.
11': They move the ball around and end up with a lob to a striker, he shoots from 20 yards, but over.
25': Cooper with a minor injury.
29': Tapia with a free kick from 20 yards, shoots, high.
HALF: They out-shoot us 5-3, but neither team has a single shot on target yet. We are dominating in the air (85% headers won to 40%). I bring Navarro in at the half.
53': Cooper crosses and we earn a corner off it. Davidson takes the corner, but they clear.
62': Cooper with a corner... short to Pickering but he pulls it back instead of shooting, Tapia has a shot blocked after a couple passes, that's it there.
83': Cooper with another corner, this to the far post, Forrest is there, and he heads it in!
1-0
83': Vega in for Villa, Gallardo in for Cooper.
That's it!
Wake Forest 1 : 0 Huntington
Man of the Match: Ian Cooper (7.2)
Goals: Forrest (7.2)
Assist: Cooper
Everyone else is 6.8-6.9 here.
Everyone else that played today that was above us in the standings either lost or tied. That leaves the standings like this:
Peoria still controls their own destiny. And since Cleveland picked up a win in 6th place today technically we could still fail to make the playoffs, but yeah, we're gonna make the playoffs... at least.
