The Falcons took part in a thrilling duel with Champlin Park on Sept. 10, tying Champlin Park 4-4 to earn another conference point. While the team did lose Moses Kamara to a red card during the game, the goals came aplenty from Mohammed Abdulrahman, who scored all four for Armstrong. It was the fourth game of seven that the Falcons scored four or more goals.

The result left Armstrong still undefeated, one of three in the Northwest Suburban Conference. One of the others was their next opponent, Maple Grove.
