BSL Finals Lineup

The Zodiac continued their strong season with an overtime win against the Spartans in the semifinals of the BSL playoffs. The game was tied 2-2 thanks to points from Hamid and Silva, when Ryan Johnson scored the golden goal in spite of the rookie mistake the owners made by leaving him in the reserve. This week he returns to the lineup as the teams captain. Despite the promising form of Jaime Penedo, the Zodiac management decide to reward Bill Hamid's strong performance last week by electing to start him in goal.

Week 14

The injury bug continues to strike the Zodiac as they narrowly beat Gold Coast with a 3-2 win. The Zodiac started out down 2 goals, but Dominic Oduro scored early in his game, only to leave the field minutes later with an injury. The Zodiac hope its nothing minor, and believe there is a chance he could see the field this weekend. The Zodiac completed the comeback when felipe added an assist, with Ryan Johnson scoring the winning point with his assist in the Timbers 2-0 win. The rookie Gyasi Zardes continues to impress, and was unlucky to not get on the score sheet as he drew two penalties for the Galaxy. New signing Edgar Mejia also limped off with an injury in the first half of Chivas' game, but the Zodiac have not received word as to whether he will play this weekend or not. Also missing this week's matches are Bill Hamid, Brad Evans, and Ryan Johnson as they are away on national team duty.

week 13 lineup plus transaction

Last week the Zodiac looked destined for a loss when they went down 3-0 early in the match, but the team showed great character to not only tie the match up, but win the match 5-3. Brad Evans had a brace as he is embracing the playmaker role for Seattle, and Zodiac designated player Chris Pontius added an assist for only his second point of the year. Despite the slow start, the club has full faith that Pontius will return to the goal scoring machine that he was last season, and repay the faith the club put in him by helping them reclaim first place. The Zodiac are almost at full strength, as Robbie Rogers announced his signing with the Galaxy, although Paponi seems to still need a few weeks to recover from his hamstring injury.

The Zodiac will be adding Edgar Mejia (CHV) and dropping Carlos Alvarez (CHV).

Week 12 Line-Up

The Zodiac picked up a big win last week defeating the 4th place Spartans 6-4. The game winning goal was scored by the rookie Gyasi Zardes on a cross from Jose Villarreal. With the win, the Zodiac sit just one point out of first place, while sitting four points above third. This week, the Zodiac will be taking on the last place Stoners, who are looking to pull off an upset after snapping their losing streak by winning 6-5 last week. The Stoners also received the good news that designated player Robbie Keane is set to return to action potentially playing in both of the galaxy's games this week, practically ensuring that the Stoners will score more than the 1 goal they had last time the two clubs met.

Week 10 Line-Up

The Zodiac will begin week 10 with some disappointing news, as new comer Daniele Paponi was diagnosed with a hamstring injury which will sideline him for 4-6 weeks. Paponi injured his hamstring during a game last night against Toronto FC, in which he scored the second goal before coming off in the 34th minute. Fortunately, the Zodiac the believe that they have the necessary depth, even with new signing Robbie Rogers still several weeks out from potentially playing, that they will not have to find a replacement for Paponi.

Critical Win plus transaction

The Zodiac broke out of the scoring slump just in time to hand Alamo City its first loss of the season. Alamo City opened the scoring with Henry in the first match of the weekend, but Daniele Paponi rewarded the Zodiac's faith in him when they signed him as trailist by recording an assist in his MLS debut. The Zodiac looked to have luck on their side as Michel's cross to Kenny Cooper was ruled as an own goal, therefore negating the 2 points City would've collected from the goal. However, the Zodiac soon showed why they deserved to be in first place as they quickly jumped out to a 5-1 lead with two points coming from Ryan Johnson. Alamo City looked to mount a comeback as Nielsen accumulated 4 saves in the first half of SKC's game, but could not manage to get that critical 5th save in the second half. Giles Barnes did finish off the scoring adding a goal for AC, but it was too little too late as the Zodiac reclaimed 1st place.

The Zodiac hope to keep the momentum going as they take on rivals Second City this weekend. The Zodiac should have the advantage for this matchup as City designated player Brad Davis will suspended for the match due to his red card last weekend.

Pending league approval, the Zodiac will be dropping Jack Jewsbury (POR) and picking up Robbie Rogers (LAG?) who is currently training with the Galaxy.

Last week the Zodiac only scored 2 points. While some believe this is a sign that the Zodiac's roster isn't as strong as their 1st place position suggests, the front office believes that the low score was result of bad luck as they were unfortunate not to receive assists for Williams and Felipe's creation for their teams' goals. The FO fully expect the Zodiac to come out with a vengeance this week and show the league why they are the top offensive team.

Week 2 recap

The Zodiac followed up their great opener with an even better win in week 2. Robert Earnshaw repaid the faith the front office showed him when they signed him as a trialist by scoring two goals this weekend, while Josh Williams and Felipe Martins continued their fantastic form by adding a goal each. The scoring was capped off by Bill Hamid earning a shut out, and Ryan Johnson scoring a fantastic goal, for a final score of 6-1. A great team performance, which will hopefully be repeated next week as the Zodiac face off against the start-studded Stoners in what will sure to be one of the Zodiac's most difficult matches.

Zodiac Announce First Two Players

The Orange County Zodiac are proud to announce the signings of Luis Silva and Felipe Martins.

Intro

Hey guys!
Thanks for all the welcomes. I just wanted to give you a quick introduction to myself: my name is Aaron, I'm from Orange County, California (in case you hadn't figured that out) and I am a huge Galaxy and USMNT fan. I am looking forward to playing in the league this year, and hope that I can be competitive.
