Week 7 Results: LA Remain Undefeated; NOLA, NY and New England Claim Wins
LA go to 6-0 and have a point differential of +146. They are favourites to claim the 2021 title if their key players stay healthy.
NY moved up to 3rd place with a come from behind win over Seattle. Josh Larsen’s New England team remain in the hunt with a win over San Diego.
The highlight was the first MLR start by Victoria’s Lockie Kratz in New Orlean’s win over Toronto. The UVic player was originally slated for the NOLA Reserves bench but a late injury gave him the start and he put in a solid 80 minute shift.
There are 11 weeks remaining in the 18 week season with the top two in each conference going to the playoffs.
