For the finale of this weekend’s back-to-back set in Tucson, perhaps the biggest question on Reign coach Marco Sturm’s mind is — ‘Can my team simply repeat the performance of last night?’
With an eye-popping eight goal outburst against the Roadrunners less than 24 hours ago, Sturm likely wishes there was a way to bottle that type of output from his club.
For more on that game, including the stellar job of rookie Erik Portillo in net — who is now a perfect 3-0 when facing Tucson this season — see here:
As for the desert rematch, we’re not expecting any changes by Sturm sans a swap of his goaltenders. Although, given Portillo’s dominance, he may opt to ride the hot hand for a second consecutive night.
