Monday, July 21, 2008 Islanders briefly taste first in USL-1 On June 12, the Puerto Rico Islanders were in last place of the USL First Division table. That Thursday night the Islanders began their climb out of the cellar with a 3-0 victory over the Carolina RailHawks and never looked back, winning seven of nine over the past month. On Friday night, the Islanders won their fourth straight on the road, going full circle with a 2-0 win at Carolina, to reach first place in the league for the first time in franchise history beyond the opening weeks of a season.
Although Charleston would reclaim the top spot the following night, it was a momentous occasion for the five-year old franchise that reached a high of making the USL-1 Semifinals last year only to find themselves at the bottom of the table the following year despite non-league success that led to qualification for the CONCACAF Champions League this fall.
The Islanders took advantage of a defensive mistake early on when Petter Villegas played a through-ball right in the middle of the box for Josh Hansen, who easily slotted the ball to the right of Chris McClellan in the 16th minute.
In the 64th minute Islanders forward Fabrice Noel found himself in the right place at the right time for the second strike, picking up a ball in the box that RailHawks defender Kupono Low was trying to clear away. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=556620Seguimos!!! miedo es lo que estamos provocando en los otros equipos
