VA Futsal Pro Wins Home Opener 10-9

VA Futsal Pro defeated the Washington Fire 10-9 in a hotly contested home opener Sunday night at the friendly confines of the Denbigh Community Center in Newport News.  The Fire jumped out to an early 2 goal lead before the home VA side found there form going in to the half leading 8-6.  After missing some counter attack chances in front of goal, the home side maintained a 2 goal cushion for the 3rd and 4th quarters before a late run by Washington pulled them back to within a goal with 3 minutes remaining in the match.  VA sat in and killed off the final few minutes to secure the victory at home and their first in the new Futsal Superliga Pro Division.
