CARSON, Calif. – Galaxy II forward Jack McBean can’t watch the match’s final 10 minutes because it’s simply too painful. Head coach Curt Onalfo said the memories remain unsettling even after five months have passed. Defender David Romney still is bitterly disappointed, and he didn’t even make the trip.
All of them were talking about the 2015 USL Pro championship game between Galaxy II and the host Rochester (N.Y.) Rhinos last Oct. 16. The visiting Galaxy II literally were moments away from the title when Rochester scored deep into second-half stoppage time to tie it at 1-1 and then won 2-1 in extra time.
