Aztex Play for Division Title Tonight
By Nick Barbaro, 2:49PM, Sun. Jul. 6, 2008
The Austin Aztex put a big hurt on the defending national champion Laredo Heat Thursday night – tonight they can do them a favor by beating the Mississippi Brilla in their regular season home finale.
The Aztex 3-1 win on Thursday put the first-year expansion team right on the verge of a division championship. A win tonight would clinch the division title, but it would also revive playoff hopes for the Heat, who are battling the Brilla and the El Paso Patriots for the division's second spot in the Premier Development League playoffs.
With a draw tonight, the Aztex clinch at least the second seed playoff spot. The PDL playoffs start the weekend of July 25; more details as they become available.
