The Monarchs will take the field on Saturday with a chance to extend their lead on top of the table before a two week break followed by a difficulty road swing through south Texas with matches against San Antonio and Rio Grande Valley.
Head Coach Ezra Hendrickson will bring a young Sounders 2 club with a large number of new faces for 2017 into Rio Tinto in search of some consistency and determination. The Sounders 2017 season has been a mix of good hardworking efforts to grind out a result and matches where it seems the team decides to take a week off.
