While the outcome of our first US Open Cup match wasn't what we expected, it was certainly an exciting one, with a total of 8 goals, extra time, and a dramatic 7-round shootout. Despite the loss, we managed to discover some new scoring strategies. Although there were a few individual mistakes that led to goals, as our team continues to play more competitive matches together, we anticipate these errors will decrease.

Now, shifting our focus to our upcoming league match against the Las Vegas Lights, who currently hold a record of 3 wins, 0 draws, and 3 losses, placing them 5th in the Western Conference. Is anyone planning to attend the game in Las Vegas? How do you feel about the team's progress so far? Will you be joining an official watch party or streaming the game at home with friends? Despite the saying, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," we're aiming to bring home a victory! #UpTheTide!
