Union Omaha Milestones Part II

I’m back again with a quick article about players hitting appearance milestones as the season progresses. Over the next couple of weeks we have players hitting the 25 appearance mark in quick succession. If you need a bit of a refresher on what I’m talking about, click here to read my article from last week.

Against Richmond Devin Boyce became the first Union Omaha player to hit 25 appearances, doing so on the road and not giving us the chance to celebrate that achievement with him. Luckily, we have the chance to do that twice over the next two home matches. On Saturday June 26th EVD (4 MVP) will hit his 25 appearance milestone, should he appear against Tucson. Ethan was obviously a star on the team last year, not missing a single game, and is very deserving of this milestone achievement.

The next match, on July 3rd against Chattanooga, brings us the chance for TWO players to celebrate hitting 25 match appearances as both JP Scearce and Rashid Nuhu are on track to hit their 25th appearance in a Union Omaha shirt on that date.

While this many matches doesn’t seem like a major milestone, we need to continue to keep in mind that our club is going to play it’s 26th match EVER on June 26th. This goes to show the level of consistency we’ve had in our team over the short history of our club.

On a side note, you may have noticed I titled this article Union Omaha Milestones Part II and left out the appearances tag. This was done intentionally because other milestones may pop up as the season goes on. JR was kind enough to let me know that we’ve hit a milestone that isn’t one to celebrate, we have had a 6 game streak of conceding a goal. This is the longest stretch this club has gone without a shutout. Will we get a shutout this weekend? Come to Werner Park and find out!
