“We were not consistent during the first part of the season,” said forward Dariusz Formella, who was named USL Championship Player of the Week on Tuesday. “We had a lot of good performances without the results and some good results without strong performances. I hope this game will be another big step for us and we’ll start a nice winning streak.”
