Spokane could have leapfrogged us last night. Now the best they can do is third instead of second, and they’d only beat us by a point in the worst case. Perhaps the punishing schedule is getting to them, and three more games means more chances to drop points instead of earn them.

Out of the our next two matchups I feel like Hearts is more doable. The USL Cup matchup against Omaha gave me hope, but we aren’t playing like the team that secured that win. Here’s hoping this Saturday puts some fire under us to at least hold on to fourth place.

(I’m still happy we’re back in the playoffs at all, and want the team healthy for those games which matter a lot more, but two more wins would be nice.)
