Since the 4th of July Sounders 2 surged. Their 6-2-2 record in the late season is powering the chance that they can make the USL Playoffs. That surge, and the 2-1 win Friday night over the Thundercaps, are powered by similar things - home games, Darwin Jones (all 6 of his goals are in that stretch), Tyler Miller and a central midfield that encapsulates S2’s 2016 style.
Beating Vancouver puts S2 in a position where they can make the playoffs, if they can correct their road errors. Seattle’s USL team ends their season with a four-game road trip, starting Monday afternoon at Vancouver (3 PM, YouTube).
