The Fresno FC Foxes are in Tacoma for a languid Sunday afternoon match at Cheney Stadium (I always thought it was pronounced CHAE-knee, but I recently found out it is actually chee-knee. The more you know.). If the Tacoma Defiance can beat or draw the Foxes today it will be the first time this season they achieve consecutive results. It doesn’t seem like much, but it could start to build the confidence the Defiance need to get their sputtering — perhaps too kind of word to describe the year so far — season headed in the right direction.
Cheney Field should see at least one of Danny Leyva and Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez for the first time in over a month as the two return from their sojourns to the GA Cup and the US Youth National Team U17’s pre-World Cup camp.
