Emotions were running high after the Boise Cutthroats defeated Battle Born FC, 3-2, in the opening round playoff game for the Premier Mountain Division. Originally, Boise didn’t qualify for the postseason but after the top-seeded Real Salt Lake Academy dropped out of postseason play, the Cutthroats earned another shot at extending their season. Battle Born FC moved up to the No. 1 seed without RSL Academy, but drawing Boise wasn’t necessarily the matchup anyone in the blue and white would have asked for. Prior to Sunday’s loss, Boise had bested BBFC 4-3 and tied with the first-year franchise 3-3 this season.
