When it rains, it pours. Aurora hosted USL-W newcomers Edgewater Castle on Friday evening in what started sunny but turned out to be a rain-soaked 5-0 landslide of a match. A brief but intense thunderstorm delayed the game almost an hour at the beginning of the second half, leaving a downpour in its wake. NSJ was there to capture the action – here are our photos from the pitch!
