Des Moines Menace (6-4-0, 2nd) at Sacramento Republic (6-1-3, 6th)

Their keeper is really good, so even with Pennington back, I focus on the Rainbow Feint strategy and we execute it superbly late in the 1st half. A long pass from Grubbs to Shepard then to Qualls gets him the ball right in front of the keeper and he goes right by him for the easy score. We try to get Cannon involved off a corner, but he gets dislodged from his spot and the pass is intercepted. We have to survive a late minute threat from Sacramento, but they run out of time before they can get their last desperation shot off. Pressley has another terrific game stopping 4 shots from Sacramento.

Final: Des Moines 1, Sacramento 0
Goal: Qualls
Top Three: Pressley, Shepard, Qualls
