The half-way point of the Fall CSL season finds the FC Blades GU-9s three points clear of NHB FC Black at the top of the Bronze Omega table.

The Blades girls got off to a high-flying start in their first two games, scoring 14 goals while conceding only one. Play was considerably tighter against So Cal Blues-Brad in a physical game that saw the Blades eventually prevail, 3-1.

After another convincing effort against the Laguna Hills Eclipse, the Blades faced their first test of adversity against Canyon PSA. PSA got on the scorecard first with a rebound goal off a free kick. Blades answered back with a free kick goal of their own and settled for the draw.

That set the tone for the match-up of first place shareholders Blades and NHB Black. Once again, the Blades' nerves were tested by conceding first but the halftime whistle found the sides even at 1-1. The Blades attack came to life in the second half and, with a well-deserved 5-2 victory, claimed sole possession of first place.

With Coach Andy Winn urging his girls to close out the half of the season on a strong note, the Blades responded with an assured 4-0 win over a determined X-Treme Black.

The Blades' numbers at the halfway point:

Wins - 6, Losses - 0, Draws - 1, Goals For - 38, Goals Against - 5, Cards - 0, Points - 19
