Coming off two straight home victories over playoff contenders in the Western Conference the Monarchs travel this Saturday to take on OKC Energy FC at Taft Stadium. This older field, originally constructed as a WPA project in 1934 and extensively renovated from 2013-2015, remains one of the few home grounds in which the Monarchs have yet to score a single point.
The Monarchs first visit on August 15th in 2015 ended in a 1-0 defeat with USL veteran Kyle Greig scoring the only goal for the Energy in the 74th minute. The 2016 visit on May 24th ended in a 3-1 loss after Devon Sandoval gave the Monarchs a early lead.
