If you are going to report scores for soccer you should make sure you have the facts first. In the Carlson tournament, Chelsea finished in a three way tie with Grosse Ile and Carlson but lost on goal differential to Grosse Ile. Since they lost to Carlson, they finished third in the tournament and Carlson was the runner-up. Also, they never had the lead in the game against Carlson. The Marauders opened the scoring 5 minutes into the contest and scored again with 4 minutes left in the half before Chelsea scored with a minute left for a 2-1 deficit at the half. Carlson scored again 6 minutes into the second half to make it 3-1 before Chelsea scored on a penalty kick with 2 minues left in the game for the final 3-2 score.
