Jan. 31, 2021– In an exciting match that went into extra time, Belize’s Deon McCaulay scored a header to give his Ginga University (Atlanta) squad the 2-1 victory over a game Charleston United SC in their UPSL “Sweet 16” playoff match on Saturday, January 30, at the MOBA Soccer Academy Complex in Peachtree City, Georgia, USA.

There are some 212 Division-1 teams scattered across the USA in 24 different conferences of the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), a “professional development soccer league” (Wikipedia).
