Fire 1 - Rockets 1 |
Florence Fire Battles to a 1 - 1 Tie The Florence Fire traveled about 64 miles on a hot, muggy day to play the Millville Rockets. The Rockets controlled play early on utilizing their speed, precision passing, and good ball skills to take a one goal lead. Even though the Fire started to play better, the Rockets kept the pressure on the Fire team and were fortunate that they only trailed 1 - 0 at half time. Zach Ronyack made some nice saves and the Fire received several generous offside calls by the referee. In the second half the Fire started to play more aggressive and increased their scoring opportunities. Finally, the Fire were able to score the equalizer midway through the second half as Ron Lind scored on a penalty shot. Both teams continued to battle to the end of the game, but the defenses wouldn't break. It was an exciting and exhausting game. |

The Fire's second goal was scored by Ron Lind as he headed in Greg Perri's 20-yard direct kick as it rebounded off of the crossbar.

Fire 0 - Burlington Renegades 0 |
Fire settles for a bittersweet tie The Florence Fire tied the Burlington Renegades, 0 - 0. However, it was a game of numerous missed scoring opportunities for the Fire. They dominated the game throughout but couldn't knock in the game winner. It was a bitterly cold night at Ernie Doelle's field in Burlington Township.
