Alright, owlheads. We’re back in action on a Sunday night of a holiday weekend, at home. Against the worst team in the league according to our Elo rankings.

3 Questions: Tucson (Home)
If we go on to finish second in the league, I think we will look back at this stretch as a springboard to that finish.

3 Questions: Chattanooga Red Wolves (Away)
1) How do we slow down Greg Hurst? Greg Hurst has four goals on six shots (all of which were on target) and one assist with two crosses.
