Clinching Moment
After a close victory against Minnesota United FC 2, North Texas SC were nearly in the clear for playoff contention.
Then a late season push by the San Jose Earthquakes II saw them battle Sporting KC II and Whitecaps FC 2, outscoring the two 7-2. Their dreams would come to an end against Real Monarchs, however, as an early two-goal lead led to a second-half tie and eventual shootout loss.
Soon after, North Texas had their playoff-clinching moment in a 3-1 defeat of St. Louis City 2.
