FC MILWAUKEE TORRENT CLINCH FOURTH STRAIGHT DIVISION TITLE

For the fourth straight season, FC Milwaukee Torrent are division champions.

A draw versus second place Bavarian United SC midweek, followed by wins Friday and Sunday put Milwaukee at 8-2-0 on the season, three points ahead of Bavarian United at the top of the Lake Michigan Division table.

“It is a great accomplishment when you win the division title four years in a row,” Andreas Davi, FC Milwaukee Torrent owner, said. “It’s a result of the work we put in every day. There’s obviously still a long journey ahead but winning the division title is a great accomplishment.”
