(November 3, 2009) Crossfire Premier USSDA Academy took a win and a tie against divisional opponents, California Development Academy (CDA) and Cal Odyssey, with much thanks to central defender, Jack Ryan.  His strong defending became important, as each of the rivals were averaging almost 2 goals per game with almost one-third of their season completed.  Ryan played a pivotal role in securing the tie against Cal Odyssey on Sunday and held CDA to only two goals on Saturday. The results will move Crossfire ahead in the standings into third place in the Northwest Division. The squad will play host to the a handful of other divisional games throughout November and then travel to the Winter Showcase to encounter non-conference opponents: Kansas City Wizards, Baltimore Bays Chelsea and Vardar.
