MNUFC2 pulls it out late
MNUFC2 midfielder Sagir Arce's goal in the second minute of second-half stoppage was the winner in Monday's 2-1 comeback victory over MLS Next Pro Western Conference leaders Tacoma Defiance at the National Sports Center.
MNUFC2's Aziel Jackson tied the score three minutes after Tacoma's 71st-minute penalty kick gave it a fleeting 1-0 lead.
The Loons' reserve team moved into sixth place in the MLS Next Pro's West with a 8-7-4 record now that it is unbeaten in its last three games.
