The teams will hook up for the third and final time of the season on Saturday, August 14th in Syracuse. After picking up an assist in the Vancouver match, striker Ali Gerba continues his quest to break the Lynx single season scoring mark of 13 set by Francisco Dos Santos in 1999. Gerba’s 12 goals and 27 points are tied for forth in the A-League. He will be in tough against a Salty Dogs defense that has conceded the 4th fewest goals in the League. The Salty Dogs are playing their best soccer of the season presently and are undefeated in their previous 9 matches, creeping into a tie with the Atlanta Silverbacks for the 4th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The match should be very physical and intense as the fourth playoff spot is at stake.
