Throughout much of last season, Minnesota looked to its forwards to provide the spark on the offensive side of the ball. Christian Ramirez and Abu Danladi led the team and combined to score 22 of the Loons’ 47 goals last season. However, the majority of the team’s goals this year have come from an unexpected source: the midfield.
Seven of Minnesota’s nine goals this season have come from midfielders. Braces from Kevin Molino and Ethan Finlay led the charge in the opening weeks, followed by Miguel Ibarra and Sam Nicholson combining to get a win in the home opener.
