From the Head Coach
Neill Collins on preparing for the match:
“Having traveled on the road, I know we need to make several changes to try to get a positive result 
on the road. We’ve worked hard in training this week, and it was nice to have the opportunity 
to implement some of my ideas.”

Rowdies Notes
After taking a point out of last Saturday's match against Pittsburgh, the Rowdies have begun 
to regain confidence after dropping four of the prior five league matches by a combined margin 
of 10-0. The challenge for Tampa Bay to overcome, however, is finding a way to take a point, 
if not a victory, on the road.

Despite being unbeaten in four home matches this season, the Rowdies have lost five-straight 
road matches without scoring a goal.

Suspended: None
Suspended after next caution: None

Injury Report: OUT: D David Najem (torn ACL, April 14)    
D Kyle Curinga (sprained ankle, May 12)
