Tucson will put its lead on the line with a visit to Las Vegas Saturday night in a match scheduled to be played at Green Valley High School in Henderson at 7:30 p.m.. The match will be played on synthetic turf.
SC del Sol will visit Las Vegas on Sunday and Arizona Arsenal will travel to El Paso Saturday night.
Tucson runs a defensive game plan that leads to goals which should come in handy, especially after Las Vegas gave up four goals to SC del Sol on Saturday.
Tucson will visit Mesa to take on Arizona Arsenal on Friday, June 17 and the team will come home to play SC del Sol the following Sunday, June. 19. TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE
