The semi-pro soccer season is winding down and Shreveport United team is headed for the playoffs in the GCPL starting this Saturday, while Blue Goose finished last Saturday in Mississippi.
Shreveport United Get Ready for Semi-Finals in GCPL playoffs
Shreveport United will start their journey for a GCPL championship on Saturday night at Loyola’s Messmer Stadium at 7:00 pm. They will face the No. 4 seed Hattiesburg FC in the semifinal match. Shreveport United currently has an undefeated record at 7-0-1 and possesses the No. 1. overall seed. This will be their first test against an Eastern Conference foe. Hattiesburg (6-3-0) knocked out Cajun Rush 2-1 last week. The winner will play the winner of the No. 3 Gaffa FC (6-3-0) at No. 2 Gulf Coast Rangers (7-0-1). Gulf Coast had a bye like Shreveport United. Gaffa FC overcame multiple lightning delays to eliminate the Central Texas Lobos.
If Shreveport wins the semifinal game, they will host the GCPL Championship at Messmer.
