LA Galaxy II’s 52 goals scored in the 2016 campaign led the USL Western Conference. It was a 13-goal improvement on their 2015 season (two more games were added to their schedule) that helped the side to its third consecutive playoff berth.
Los Dos were league leaders in scoring throughout much of the season, thanks in part to the red-hot start from Jack McBean. McBean scored 15 goals in 17 games before being signed to LA Galaxy midseason then loaned to English League One club Coventry City for the remainder of 2016.
Left to carry the load were LA Galaxy’s Ariel Lassiter (LA Galaxy II’s leading scorer in 2015) and Jose Villarreal.
