Loons Lose Second Consecutive

After a second road loss this past weekend, the Loons have one more match away before opening their tenure at Allianz Field. Adrian Heath, Ethan Finlay, and others spoke to the press about the loss. The final road match on the trip may be the most difficult as Minnesota takes on the New York Red Bulls. The Loons face questions on both sides of the ball; the early optimism brought to the defense has since had several questions raised. Three of nine goals scored have been penalties, with a fourth being an own-goal. Five goals scored from the run of play through four games is hardly a great return, and that number will need to increase if the Loons are going to make the playoffs this season.
