After nine matches, the Black-and-Red find themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with eight points, and nine points out of a playoff spot. Because of the league’s odd scheduling, DCU has played the fewest matches (tied with Seattle), and as many as four fewer matches (Columbus and Vancouver) than anyone else, which means their pace of 0.89 points per game is better than Montreal (0.75), Colorado (0.80), and San Jose (0.82), while being equal to Seattle. And coming off the back of a win in San Jose, there is a glimmer of hope that the team can put together some results before opening Audi Field in July, and offset what has been a generally dire start.
