One down and 5 to go!!! Fantastic nail biting victory and outstanding individual performance from Mr. Delray Rawlins. Thank you to the fans for coming out to White Hill, you really gave the team the extra motivation to perform. We are back at it tomorrow vs. Canada (11am at the NSC North Field) and it looks like it will be another close match.
