Gulf Coast League 2 Report: June 7
BRSC is in control in the East; the West is up for grabs

BRSC Capitals have taken control of the East Division after last week's win over Mississippi Blues and remain undefeated. Invictus has had a very tough go in their first season, and are still looking to score their first goal. Invictus lost their first-ever match to Mississippi Blues 0-7, who they face again this week. I'll be watching that score for signs of progess.
The West Division is tighter than the East, with Central Louisiana undefeated at the top of the table. Central has won each of their three games by one goal. The other newcomer for the league is at the bottom over here as well, but have kept things close. Look for them to find an upset or two before the season is done.

Shreveport United vs LA Krewe Rush: (Saturday, June 7 at 7:15)
These two rivals are chasing Central Louisiana, tied with 4 points in the table, with Shreveport listed in second place due to a single goal in differential. This is a rematch of the opening match for the season, which ended in a 0-0 draw. They've both also been involved in 1 goal losses against Central Louisiana. Every possible indicator calls for this to be a very close, low-scoring affair.
