Last October both teams fired off against each other with a final score of 3-2, with all five goals coming before the first half whistle was blown.

LA Force Notes (4-2-1., 4th place)   
CFC are looking to extend their unbeaten streak as they sit at the top of the table 7-3-0), eight points clear of the Maryland Bobcats in 2nd. Both teams will look to extend their streak at all costs.

LA Force are a dangerous attacking side scoring 10 goals in only 7 matches this season. This tally ranks LA Force as the sixth strongest attack in the league with CFC tied at 1st with Maryland Bobcats FC with 17 goals in 10. On the road LA has struggled to gain the full three points, only beating Flower City Union at home.

LA Force Player to Watch: #80 Ivan Hernandez 
Ivan Hernandez is a 19-year-old defender who has kicked off his career with the LA Force. Hernandez has been on the score sheet twice this season, scoring most recently against Flower City Union. Keep an eye out as he attempts to get back on the score sheet against CFC this weekend.

CFC Player to Watch: #99 Markus Naglestad
Naglestad Scores Again: With Markus Naglestad (#99) scoring in extra time against Club De Lyon this previous weekend he has now brought his goal tally to 9 goals in 9 matches. Scoring in every match this season for CFC, Naglestad will look to continue this hot streak and make a push to win the league's Golden Boot for the second year in a row.

Coach Rod Underwood's Take
“We've got to be more composed and not rushed. We were really rushed (in the last match) and that made a big difference because I think we had nine shots in the first half and we weren't dangerous. We were threatening but we weren't dangerous and now we got to take that threatening to dangerous. We showed a lot of character, fight, grit and determination and some of those we didn’t have last year. We didn’t need them because we were scoring goals like crazy. But we have slowed down on goals -- I think they’ll come but we have to keep working.”
