Tonight’s Tacoma Defiance lineup will likely have a very strong Seattle Sounders flavor to it after six more players were loaned to the USL side. Bryan Meredith, Román Torres, Nouhou, Handwalla Bwana, Jordy Delem and Will Bruin all will be available for the the game against Sacramento Republic through a standard loan agreement. They join Trey Muse, Alex Roldan, Henry Wingo, Saad Abdul-Salaam and Jonathan Campbell who had previously been loaned to Tacoma.
That sets up a lineup that could feature as many as 10 First-Teamers for Tacoma and could mark the USL debuts for Torres and Bruin.
