Mental Health Awareness Game
Match Presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield Minnesota
It’s a crazy time for your Black and Blue, with double-game weeks galore and U.S. Open Cup fixtures punctuating a busy regular-season schedule. Matchday 12 saw the Loons pull off a resounding 4-1 victory over Inter Miami, with a phenomenal performance earning Head Coach Eric Ramsay and midfielder Robin Lod spots in the Team of the Matchday lineup. But the tides turned when a heavily rotated Minnesota side fell to Houston on Wednesday night. Now the Loons are on a mission to rekindle momentum as they host St. Louis CITY SC in regular-season play this weekend.
Minnesota’s in a good place, sitting at third in the West and returning to their home field. Dayne St. Clair boasts a whopping six clean sheets, and Minnesota United has lost only three times this season. The boys are ready to get back to their standard starting lineup and play some gosh darn good soccer, so get ready to embrace the MNUFC spirit this Saturday.
