The Atlanta

Silverbacks are definitely going places.

Last week

the team faced the oldest and most experienced team in

the A-League, the El Paso Patriots, and lost a

heartbreaker. When they hosted the Patriots on Saturday

night, they blew them out.

The

Silverbacks won by a score of 7-2, getting multiple goals

from Josh Henderson and Patrick Beech. Henderson had

three goals on the night, two of them coming within a

minute of each other. The Silverbacks also got a goal

from Alex Bahr, who recently re-signed with the team.

Bahr is from Honduras and has played with Independiente

Honduras, the Atlanta Ruckus and the Silverbacks before.

Jacenir Silva also scored.

Atlanta had

a 7-0 lead with 20 minutes to go before El Paso got on

the board. It was the worst lost handed to the Patriots

all season and it was the biggest win all season for the

Silverbacks. Obviously, the defense handled the Patriots

well, learning how to slow down ad stop the El paso's

experienced offense.

Atlanta

will be at home again on July 8 to face the Hampton Roads

mariners at 7:30 p.m. The Atlanta Classics, Atlanta's

W-League team, will face the Northern virginai Majestics
