A few excerpts from the article:


"The inaugural season for AC St.Louis is over now and the team definitely had it’s ups and downs on the field and off. There were a few bright spots for the team, that’s for sure,  and one of them was Forward Mike Ambersley. Mike recorded the teams first hat trick, was named the USSF Div II Player of the Month for July and ended the season among the division leaders in goals scored with 9, a personal best for his professional career. He was also awarded the St.Louligan 2010 Offensive Player of The Year Award, which was presented by us here at the Floodplain Footy."


"FPF: Besides your hat trick, what was the highlight of the season?

MA: I would have to say advancing to the third round and having the opportunity to play the Galaxy in the Open Cup was pretty special for our team."

Mike Ambersley Wins Supporter's Offensive Player of the Year

S&E Entertainment client Mike Ambersley has been honored by the A.C. St. Louis supporters group, the St. Louligans as their Offensive Player of the Year.


"If you missed the last game, you missed the first annual St. Louligan awards. Over the course of the last several home games we took an unscientific poll at the tailgate parties and elected our players of the year. We decided that the players had given so much to us over the course of the season that we wanted to reward a few of them. So, even though it was "fan appreciation" day at AB Soccer Park- we decided to celebrate our special day by appreciating our team. A few of us talked online and worked to get some sponsors to pay for the awards and we made a few phone calls to get on the program. Without further ado, I present our award winners."


"Offensive player of the year was a near unanimous decision. Mike Ambersley embodied the offense and killer instinct of our first year. He won a special place in our hearts early this season when he scored a killer goal in Portland and mocked their crowd with a little Lumberjack dance of his own. That's how the St. Louligans like it. Great to score, but even better to taunt your victims. Floodplain Footy's Steve Rusnack and Nik Cameron presented Mike with the award. "

Lucas Rodriguez Scores First Professional Goal

Congratulations to Lucas Rodriguez for scoring his first professional goal, helping the NSC Minnesota Stars to overcome the Tampa Bay Rowdies 3-1 in USSF Div. 2 action. The win seals the Stars spot in the playoffs in the club's inaugural season.

Sattler saved Devin Del Do’s shot, but Rodriguez gathered the rebound on the left edge of the penalty box and lofted a shot into the far post. It was the second goal Rodriguez has had a hand in in the Stars’ past three games after assisting on Del Do’s winner against the Carolina RailHawks on September 15."

“It is an honor to be named Player of the Month,” said Ambersley. ”Now that our team is winning and climbing in the standings I look at this award as an honor, not for me, but for our entire team and what we are accomplishing. I was just happy to be able to contribute with some goals, and I hope to continue this success here in August.”

Ambersley netted the game-winner on July 24 at Crystal Palace Baltimore in a 1-0 win. The St. Louis area native then finished off the month with a hat trick against the Portland Timbers on July 28 at The Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park.

Tim Velten and Mike Ambersley Shine in A.C. St. Louis Win.

S&E Entertainment clients Tim Velten and Mike Ambersley helped A.C. St. Louis to a win over Crystal Palace Baltimore in USSF Division 2 action over the weekend.  The win propelled St. Louis out of the bottom of the table, passing Miami FC into fifth place in the NASL Conference.  A.C. St. Louis is now within three points of Baltimore in the standings and back into playoff contention.

"The St. Louis offense got off to a go start in the oppressive heat that the East Coast is experiencing. An early free kick by Luke Kreamalmeyer in the third minute, and a sixth minute chance by Tim Velten helped establish a better AC St. Louis attack than seen in the previous two games."

"Mike Ambersley finally broke through for St. Louis getting them onto the scoreboard in the 74th minute. Ambersley’s tight angle shot found its way under goalkeeper Evan Bush and into the side netting. The goal was Ambersley’s fifth of the year in all competitions and third in league play."
