This is how dominant the Carolina RailHawks have been this season: they lost on Wednesday night and STILL won the regular season NASL title.
Let's go to the official release:
The Carolina RailHawks clinched the NASL Regular Season Championship and the No. 1 seed in the NASL Playoffs Wednesday night. While they suffered a 1-0 loss at Ft. Lauderdale, they cemented their place at the top of the table by virtue of Puerto Rico’s 1-1 home tie against Montreal. The RailHawks (17-4-4) are eight points clear and have a game in hand on Puerto Rico, which has two games remaining on its calendar. “It’s a big, big achievement for us,” said RailHawks coach Martin Rennie after Wednesday's match. “It was a goal for the season and we’re satisfied we’ve achieved it. To be the top team in the NASL is something the club can build on and it’s a reward for everybody’s hard work and the quality the entire organization has produced this season.” The RailHawks have been at the top of the table since late April, and they saw their lead balloon to as many as 16 points over the course of their landmark season. Clinching their first piece of silverware adds to the list of club records the RailHawks have already set or are closing in on as the regular season draws to a close. “Now we have to be the team to finish strong and accomplish our other goal, which is to win in the playoffs,” said Rennie, whose team will begin postseason play with a bye to the semifinals.
