Since we last spoke, FC Dallas’ second team North Texas SC drew at home, 2-2, versus league-leaders Union Omaha (thanks to yet another late concession) and shutout North Carolina FC in a 1-0 victory. The Omaha draw leaves a bitter taste as the latest in a long series of mediocre performances and dropped points, but road wins absolve many sins, and if Freddy Vargas and Kalil ElMedkhar turn out to be permanent additions for the rest of the year then NTSC is going to be very hard to beat.
