After greatly enjoying my last NASL match in Fort Lauderdale, I was happy to follow the Strikers'
surprisingly making it to the final of the NASL championship after defeating the huge favourites of
Puerto Rico Islanders in the semifinal. The other finalists were also an upset, namely the
Minnesota Stars, who defeated the North Carolina Railhawks, who had been the best team in the
season.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - In four meetings during the regular season, the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers
went undefeated against NSC Minnesota Stars with a 2-0-2 record and 6-2 goal advantage.
That may have happened in the last few months, but it will seem like long ago to both teams as
they attempt to get a win in the first leg of the NASL Championship Series at NSC Stadium in
Minnesota on Saturday (8:30pm ET).

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The Puerto Rico Islanders won't soon forget the name Brian Shriver.
A week after scoring the final goal in the Fort Lauderdale Strikers' 3-1 road win against Puerto
Rico, Shriver bagged a brace in the second leg of the NASL semifinals series to give the hosts a
2-1 victory in front of 4,233 fans at Lockhart Stadium on Saturday night.
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers remarkable run through the 2011 NASL playoffs continues following a

totaling five goals in the playoffs.

For all the dominance the Puerto Rico Islanders and the Carolina Railhawks enjoyed during the
regular season, everything goes out the window once the playoffs start and both sides are in
serious danger of being home in time for Halloween.
The Puerto Rico Islanders were decimated by international callups and face a difficult task in
overturning a 3-1 deficit in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.
While last season's D2 playoff champion the Puerto Rico Islanders will meet the Fort Lauderdale
Strikers in the second leg of their semifinal series and 2011 regular season champions the Carolina
RailHawks battle the NSC Minnesota Stars Saturday in the other semifinal matchup, other NASL teams
are announcing roster changes for next season.

If having a week of rest and a first-round bye is supposed to be an advantage it certainly
didn't look that way on Saturday as both top-seeded Carolina and #2 Puerto Rico slumped to
first-leg losses in the semifinals of the NASL.
For the Puerto Rico Islanders, an astounding 10 international call-ups could explain a 3-1 loss
to the third-seeded Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers won the away-leg of their two game series with the Puerto Rico
Islanders 3-1 Saturday in Bayamon. The first leg of the semi-final NASL playoff matchup marked
the first time in 2011 that the Islanders lost a match at their Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium home.

For the six months, the NASL marveled at FC Edmonton's discipline, maturity and ability to grind
out results.
Well so much for that.
The expansion side showed their youth and inexperience in a 5-0 loss to the Fort Lauderdale
Strikers during the quarterfinals of the NASL playoffs.
What a great night at Lockhart Stadium this Saturday when the Strikers defeated FC Edmonton 5-0
thanks to a hat trick by Abe Thompson and a brace by Brian Shriver. The team played inspired
football and gave South Florida a true show that we hope we can see again next week as the playoffs
continue.
The Strikers will face the Puerto Rico Islanders this coming Saturday in the first of 2 games to
determine who advances to the NASL Finals.

After a grueling season spanning nearly six months and consisting of 27 games,
it all comes down to the final weekend in the inaugural season of the NASL.
The NSC Minnesota Stars and the Montreal Impact enter the weekend in a fight for the final
playoff spot, while FC Tampa Bay and the Fort Lauderdale Strikers jockey for third place.
The Puerto Rico Islanders ended their regular season on a positive note, downing FC Tampa Bay 1-0
at Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium Wednesday night. The match was a makeup of a the original match a
