Funding Center in Lakeland.
The Tropics will play either the Baltimore Blast or Milwaukee Wave in the divisional semi-
finals, with the first game of the home-and-home series set for next Friday in Lakeland. The
final playoff seedings won’t be determined until the league completes is regular season this
weekend, including the Tropics hosting St. Louis again Sunday afternoon.

assists to lead the offense. Victor Parreiras got the other Florida goal, while St. Louis got a
pair from Lucas Almeida, who staked the Ambush to an early 2-0 lead.
