Protagonist's Weekend Previews - February 8th and 9th

We welcome back the USL Super League for the second half of their season with a big Florida Derby. The Western Indoor Soccer League goes into its final weeks of the regular season with playoff seeding in the balance. There’s a showdown in Texas with MASL hitting its mid-season stride. And the EPSL also heads into the second half of its season with one team looking at the top of the table and another looking for consistency.

    • Tampa Bay Sun vs FT Lauderdale Utd in USL Super League

      • Sat, 02/08 - 3:00pm PT / 6:00pm ET
        at Riverfront Stadium in Tampa, FL

      • The Doppler Derby is set to kick off the second half of the season. Both teams finished in 4 (FTL) and 5 (TB), battling for the top half of the table. FTL acquired some firepower in the trade window and a top college defender. Look for offense, offense, offense, and speed.

    • PW Nova vs FC Christos in Eastern Premier Soccer League

      • Sat, 02/08 - 1:30pm PT / 4:30pm ET
        at Lake Ridge Middle School in Woodbridge, VA

      • The EPSL conferences are slowly getting back into their second halves of the season, and Christos FC accounted for themselves quite well in the first half with six wins and a draw. A win against PW Nova puts the club top of the table. PW Nova (not to be confused with Nova FC) has altered between wins and losses in their last six matches, and their last match was a win, so…

    • Texas Outlaws vs Dallas Sidekicks in Major Arena Soccer League

      • Sat, 02/08 - 5:05pm PT / 8:05pm ET
        in Mesquite, TX

      • It’s a Texas size battle between these two teams. With both teams near or at the bottom of the standings, this is mostly about pride and the hope of turning the season around. With 12 goals and 10 assists, Sidekick Jamie Lovegrove is having his best season to this point, so keep an eye for him to keep the ball rolling.

    • Bellingham United vs Tacoma Stars Reserves in Western Indoor Soccer League

      • Sat, 02/08 - 7:30pm PT / 10:30pm ET
        in Bellingham, WA

      • Multiple times champions Tacoma Stars have now won 11 straight and are one win away from a perfect regular season - in their way are hosts Bellingham United, who are also multiple times champions of the WISL. If you love indoor - this is a matchup from the soccer gods.

        Tacoma beat Bellingham 12-3 back on November 23rd: Ismael Deluna had 2 goals and 2 assists for Stars that night while Richard Henderson scored a hatty for the Hammers.

        Currently Bellingham are 3rd and can overtake South Sound FC with what some might say is a shock win - but with a game in hand, even if they should lose, they’ll have another bite of the Washington Apple to secure 2nd place heading into the playoffs.
