Charleston, SC. The Charleston Battery takes on the Puerto Rico Islanders Friday night at Blackbaud Stadium; gates open at 6:30 PM with kick off set for 8:00 PM ($8 - $15, 971-GOAL / www.charlestonbattery.com). The game is the Battery's regular season finale and is also the fourth match between Charleston and Puerto Rico in 2007; the Islanders lead the series with two wins, the first game ended in a tie.

The Battery enters the game hoping to snap a five game losing streak that stretches back to August 14. Charleston (8-14-5, 29 points) is in 10th position heading into the final weekend's games but could finish as high as 8th; the top eight teams advance to the post-season.

To make the playoffs the Battery needs to win on Friday combined with the Carolina RailHawks earning no more than 2 points from its remaining two games (09/06 @ Minnesota & 09/08 @ California).

The Puerto Rico Islanders (10-8-9, 39 points) enter the game in 6th position in the USL First Division and are already qualified for the 2007 post-season. This is also Puerto Rico's final game of the regular season.
