Too cold. Too hot. Too much travel. Too many games.

For good measure, throw in too few days off in between games. Too many crossbars. And too many goal posts.

The Ottawa Fury FC had all the excuses in a less than successful United Soccer League 2018 season.

In the end, however, it all amounted to too little, which translated into too few goals, too little sustained excitement and way too few wins.

Put it all together and the Fury FC didn’t have to spend Saturday night watching ESPN hoping Nashville would lose to save their season. And they won’t be huddled Sunday afternoon, either, hoping to be helped by a Bethlehem loss.

Mercifully, the playoff-bound, fourth-place Charleston Battery put an end to the Fury hopes for extending its season when there was really no reason to, scoring the only goal it needed 14 minutes in, then coasting to a relatively easy 2-0 win before a season-ending crowd of 5,385 at TD Place on Saturday afternoon.
