Semi-Finals

After an exciting regular season the semi finals got off to a bang. But first we'd like to congratulate FC Arsene Wenger on bringing the second place trophy at the CUNY Soccer Intramurals home to Baruch.

The first match saw the Black Stars take on Champion's League super power DreamTeam. Black Stars put up a good fight but couldn't hold on, going down to Dream 6-1, behind a hat trick from Alvaro Velazquez.

The second match was probably the most excited match of the tournament. CUNY Soccer Intramural runner-up FC Arsene Wenger took on BM United. FC Arsene Wenger dominated possession in the early parts of the game but BM United would hold on and pull out a 2-1 win, behind goals from Daniel McCallum and Mosi Brown.

April 30th will determine it all. At 12:45 PM, the 3rd place game will take place. This will see FC Arsene Wenger take on Black Stars. And then, at 1:15 PM, for all the marbles, defending champs DreamTeam will take on BM united.

See You Then!
