This week, we finally get a look at our last two squads up close. Salvo and Minnesota Thunder both made their season debuts on Wednesday.
Salvo SC 2-0 MN Bliss FC
Far from a rout, Salvo were held scoreless until the 68th minute, and they scored their winning goals 2 minutes apart, with goals from Elle Wildman and Matigann Vixayvong. There is a full gallery from this game here


Minnesota Thunder 1-0 Joy AC
Clara Fedunok broke the deadlock in the fourth minute for Thunder, who made the single goal stand up.
The results meant that 7 of the 8 teams in the Northern Conference have at least a point although the clubs have such widely differing numbers of games played that I hesitate to include the table.
