Last Week:

Toronto FC was defeated by the Colorado Rapids this past weekend by a score of 1-0. The squad was without five first team regulars, defender Doneil Henry, midfielders Michael Bradley, Jonathan Osorio, Alvaro Rey and forward Jermain Defoe, due to various injuries. After a scrappy first half the teams went into the break deadlocked at 0-0. Toronto FC carried most of the play in the second half. At the 77th minute, Colorado Rapids forward Edson Buddle broke the tie by converting on a pass deep in Toronto FC's area and placing into the corner of the net. In the closing minutes the Reds were awarded a set piece only to see Bekker's attempt graze the post.

Wilmington Hammerheads FC defeated the Pittsburgh Riverhounds 4-3 last Saturday.

Daniel Lovitz scored his first goal of the season in the 39th minute and registered an assist.

Wilmington has the weekend off, but will host the Charlotte Eagles on Saturday April, 26 at 7:30 p.m.
