Lazo Alavanja - Image From Charleston Battery WebsiteLazo Alavanja earned Man of the Match honors for his strong performance against the Minnesota Thunder in the Fox Soccer Channel USL Game of the Week. Alavanja was the lone goal scorer for the Charleston Battery in the 1-1 draw. His goal came in the 55th minute when he sent a Chris Williams cross into the net with a snapping header from just atop the six yard box. The goal was his first of the season. Alavanja nearly put the Battery back on top a few minutes after the Thunder leveled the match when he sent a low and heavy shot toward goal that ticked off the keeper's fingertips and caromed hard off the post. He registered four shots on goal in the match. Fellow Ironmen player Frederico Moojen came on as a substitute in second half stoppage time for the Thunder.
Two other Ironmen players went head to head on Friday when Mauricio Salles' Rochester Rhinos played Dan Antoniuk and the Carolina RailHawks to a 3-3 stalemate at PAETEC Park. Salles opened up the scoring when he converted a penalty kick in the game's opening minutes. The goal was his fourth of the season. Antoniuk also found his way onto the score sheet when he assisted on Matt Watson's goal in the 37th minute. The Rhinos are situated just two points behind the first place Vancouver Whitecaps in the USL overall standings. The RailHawks slipped to ninth place with their loss to the Montreal Impact on Sunday.
John Krause was also in action this week when his Puerto Rico Islanders fell to the Atlanta Silverbacks on Saturday by a count of 3-1. The Islanders sit in last place in the standings.
