Rovers Take Undisputed Top Seat in Budweiser Division I Soccer

The Rovers FC (6-1) defeated Guam Shipyard (5-2) to stay in first place in league standings with a 3-1 win. Ian Mariano, Natsuki Recella, and David McCallum scored one each for the winning team. Andre Gadia scored Shipyard’s goal.

Shipyard, the only team to have defeated the Rovers this season, needed at least a draw to nab first place going into the league’s two-week break. In Sunday’s match, Shipyard was without its top scorer Cameron Giles and Rovers added back Ian Mariano, the league’s Golden Boot frontrunner, and Jason Cunliffe in their lineup after the pair took a break from the team’s first fixture with Shipyard.

The Division I standings going into the break are:

1. Rovers FC (6-1)
2. Strykers FC (5-2, GD: 22)
3. Quality Distributors (5-2, GD: 18)
4. Guam Shipyard (5-2, GD: 15)
5. Southern Cobras (1-4-1)
6. Doosan FC (1-6)
7. Paradise Fitness Sidekicks (0-6-1)
