Hey, that was kinda fun!

In Rhode Island FC’s highest scoring league match since March, The Tide put on one of their best offensive performances of the season. The attack looked much more fluid with a few freak goals against that leveled this one.

But here’s the rub. While this performance was one of the better ones of the season, that means significantly less turning 3 points to 1 point. Now on the outside looking in for the playoffs, RIFC needs wins and help from those ahead of us in the standings to keep the season alive.

As always, stay tuned to Timmy’s Playoff Picture blog that he is updating weekly with the latest look at RIFC’s playoff chances.
