Since last we met, defending USL League One Champions North Texas SC stumbled out of the gates. Continuing the club’s history of struggling on the road against pressing teams that play on small, converted baseball fields, NTSC fell 0-1 to Union Omaha on August 1st, and followed that up with a disappointing home tie against Chattanooga Red Wolves on August 8th, 2-2. In both games, NTSC flashed the game control they showed last year and could/should have gotten a better result in both. Costly individual mistakes of technique and focus left the team with only one point for their efforts.
