Peach State Soccer Recap, June 22: Silverbacks Women go two for two last week

Atlanta Silverbacks

The win puts Atlanta solidly into second place in the South Atlantic Conference. With a game in hand, the Silverbacks currently sit five point behind the conference leading Myrtle Beach Mutiny. With the top four in the conference qualifying for the postseason, Atlanta will almost assuredly host a playoff game at Silverbacks Park in early July.
