The Western Indoor Soccer League completed a first month of action on Saturday and the only thing decided so far is that everything is very – undecided.
Bellingham United looks good to make the 4-team playoff format as they lead the table with 9 points after a convincing 10-2 blowout over Oly Town FC at the Sportsplex.
In Everett it was Sporting making a jumble of the standings as they jumped up to third place with a big 9-5 win over the Olympic Force. It was Sporting’s first “W” of the season.
The WISL playoffs will feature the top four clubs. It seems very likely that it will take all of the remaining matches to separate the pack.
