Fall River Sports claimed the 2012 Ligas Unidas Soccer Association title on Wednesday after edging Lincoln Club 3-2 at Billy Goncalves Field.<\/p>\n

Lester Ramirez, Chris Arruda and Helder Porto all scored for Fall River while Nathan Avelar’s efforts between the sticks preserved the league-clinching victory.<\/p>\n

“We were tired of watching other teams winning the championship every year,” Fall River Sports coach Bruno Ramos told O Jornal.<\/em> “So we got some players from the lower clubs and we played well and we hope to renew our quest for a title (next year).”<\/p>\n

Fall River, which upped its point total to 44 on Wednesaday, put enough distance on second-place East Providence Sports (37 points) to win the league with a week remaining in the regular season.<\/p>\n

Fall River ran a ten-game unbeaten streak en route to its first league title since 1999. It was the first\u00a0championship claimed by a Fall River club since Modern Snack Bar claimed the league in 2001.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, Fall River and East Providence will close out the season against each other at 11am on Sunday at Riverside Recreation Park.<\/p>\n

After the season finale, Fall River will\u00a0turn its attention to grabbing its first Portuguese Cup since 1998. The Cup schedule kicks off during the weekend of September 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
