Arizona Scorpions looking toward a 4-0 Season Start with a win against Dallas!

************************************************************************


It's still Hot in Arizona, over 100 degrees! And the Scorpions aren't about to cool off anytime soon.


This week its a rematch against the traditionally strong Dallas Destiny. But destiny seems to have forsaken Dallas in the early season this year and they find themselves near the bottom of the Western Division. Meanwhile, after a great season start and a win (3.5-0.5) last week against startup Los Angeles, the Scorpions are at the top of their Division.-- Yea!


The Scorpions games will include two rematches with Dallas opponents; Robby Adamson with Keaton Kiewra and David Adelberg with Bayaraa Zorigt. I expect an Arizona win on both boards tonight. On board one Levon Altounian will face Destiny's Salvijus Bercys in a tough match with good chances for a draw. Finally, on the second board Dallas brings strength with Julio Sadorra, their highest rated player tonight, against Arizona's Warren Harper. Warren will fight hard, but I see Dallas escaping with a point here.


So, my Prediction is for another Arizona Win by 2.5-1.5 as they remain atop the USCL Western Division standings!
