The Fort Lauderdale Strikers may have seen their postseason lives flashing before their eyes after a five-game winless streak, which included four straight losses. On Wednesday night, the club ended the skid to remain in the hunt with a 1-0 win over FC Edmonton. The Strikers (5W-5D-9L, 20 points Fall; 9-8-12, 35 Combined) are three points back of fourth place and the final postseason spot. Geison Moura provided the all-important goal in the first half of the victory over the Eddies.
