Captain Morgan Countdown: Best offense is a good defense
For as long as there have been professional sports, fans have been privy to the old adage “the best offense is a good defense.” However, an elite defense can often be hard to quantify. In the case of the Union one needs look no further than their league-leading 20 goals against, including 9 shutouts, good for 0.87 goals against average this season. In a season under normal circumstances that would be good for a mere 30 goals against, the fewest the league has seen since the 2012. This was a major step forward for the Union who recognized a need to improve defensively after last season when they were a middle of the pack defensive club.
