Another slow start plagued the Raptors in their final regular season match against FC Dynamo ROC. Dynamo was able to put in all three of their goals in the first half.

Set pieces once again did not go the Raptors way, with two of their goals against coming from corner kicks. The third came after a defensive breakdown, when a Dynamo striker was able to get in one on one with goalkeeper, Sydney Mulka.

Albion didn't test Dynamo's defense and keeper very much, but had a quality chance to cut the deficit to two in the second half. Elisa Bropst was able to get the ball down the sideline and put a great cross in to Kenzi Hapeman. Hapeman had a great touch but put her shot wide.

The Raptors will still have a chance at playoffs in early March. LoneStar Youth League will announce final standings and playoff brackets within the week.

Albion will open up their tournament season next week with their home event, the Ben Kirby Memorial Tournament. The Raptors will be split into two teams, with Team 1 starting play at 12:45 PM on February 23 against Roy-Hart 2 and Team 2 following at 1:00 PM against the Tigers.
