From the first whistle, we could tell something was different about this season. But even after its conclusion, it is difficult to capture it in words.

The best place to start is The Proving Ground.

For the majority of our players, it was a foreign space at the beginning. By the end of our home opener against FC Tulsa, it was evident that this would be our fortress.

With one of the youngest rosters in the USL Championship, each season for the 2’s is marked by a number of individual and collective firsts.

This season, a handful of players grabbed their first professional goals—some even grabbed their first hat tricks. Others signed their first professional deals. And, per usual, several Academy players were awarded their first tests at the professional level.
