Postseason

[edit]

Inaugural Championship Weekend was held on July 31 on Homewood Field at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. The Long Island Sound defeated the Boston Storm, 13-8. The Sound's goalkeeper, Devon Wills (#3), was named MVP.

Trivia: the semi-final games were originally scheduled to be played on Friday, July 30, but they were both rescheduled due to a thunderstorm - the underway results of the Sound vs Force game were vacated (the Sound were leading 5-4 before the initial lightning delay), and all three games were played on July 31.
