Tonight’s game is the first in a stretch of 3 games in 8 days. The first two are at Starfire, so there is a good chance we see some squad rotation that includes several Academy players. It will also be a great opportunity for S2 players in the ascendency, like Ray Saari and David Olsen, to solidify their claims as ones for the future. Real Monarchs SLC will offer S2 a challenging start to their busy week.
The Monarchs have the most potent attack of any team S2 has faced this year, having averaged a goal every 36 minutes.
