Blue Jays 1 - 0 Crew

The showdown for first place showcased the two best teams in the league: the Crew (7-0) vs the Blue Jays (6-1). With a tie or loss, the Blue Jays would remain in 2nd place. With a win, the Blue Jays would vault past the Crew for the Division title (The first tiebreaker is the head-to-head matchup).

The game was played close as both teams had skilled players and tactics. Whereas the focus of the Crew seemed to be individual play, the Blue Jays focused more on spreading the ball across the field. Both strategies have worked well through the season, but today, the opportunities created by the Blue Jays outnumbered the opponent nearly 2-1 on shots.

Congratulations to Caleb who put the gamewinner in the back of the net from close range. Every player today had solid contributions. Ultimately, that's more important than the score -- and most often the score is a result of those contributions.

Congrat to parents, players and coaches for a great season. No time to rest -- we need to focus on the CASL Cup!.
