Since last year it seemed that the entire state of Ohio was the Union’s kryptonite. However, that changed late Saturday night after the boys in blue won in Cincinnati 2-1. This was also the U’s first win away from Chester since May. The win was not even with most of their regular starters, as they were without six of them because of suspensions or international callups.
Let’s start with the lineup and head coach Jim Curtin. Curtin employed a different tactic for once, lining his guys up in a 3-5-2. One of the key reasons is most likely the amount of midfield players the Union have.
