FC Edmonton snapped a two-game slump in which they were shutout by Montreal and Carolina by earning their own shutout, downing the Puerto Rico Islanders 3-0 at Foote Field Wednesday evening. The Eddies climbed back into 2nd place in the NASL standings after the win, as they've been jockeying with NSC Minnesota over the past weeks for the spot behind the near-perfect Carolina RailHawks.

Impact goalkeeper Bill Gaudette will miss 4-6 weeks with an ankle injury.

Earlier this season Daryl Sattler, the FC Tampa Bay goalkeeper was having quite a start to the season. That is, until he tore his ACL which ended his year.

Last Friday evening at Foote Field in Edmonton, the Eddies' were taking on Carolina RailHawks where goalkeeper Lance Parker dove for a ball.

On a typically rain soaked and slickened field at Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, the Minnesota Stars put on an outstanding 2nd half performance to come from behind and get an important 1-1 draw with the Islanders.
