The Tacoma Defiance are still in the middle of a deep struggle. Last week it looked like they were just about starting to climb their way out of it, but then they allowed 3 simple goals in 20 minutes and sunk back into the abyss. Tonight they will start the climb again when they meet Reno 1868. They don’t need a win; a draw would be fantastic and end a six-game losing streak during which they have let in 22 goals. Even a one goal loss would be acceptable progress.
It will be a tough test for the currently lost Defiance defense.
