Getting Back on Track

VCFC fell to St. Louis 2 last Sunday at William Rolland Stadium by a score of 3-2. Despite leading 1-0 and 2-1 in regulation time, VCFC couldn’t hang onto their lead. St. Louis scored twice within 12 minutes to secure their victory.

Dylan Vanney continued to shine in his role as an attacking midfielder. Vanney scored for the 3rd straight game this season and added an assist. Vanney now has 4 goal involvements on the season. Midfielder Arnau Vilamitjana scored his first professional goal against St. Louis, continuing to be a massive presence in the VCFC midfield.

VCFC currently sits 1 spot above Portland in the West and is tied with them at 5 points each. Getting back to winning ways on Monday would be crucial in the table.
