The Breakdown: FC Tucson continued to light up the tournament in its Quarterfinal victory as Trent Wieland approached 200 goals for the tournament in his victory against Saint Louis FC. There’s a chance the same could happen against the Defiance, too, but Tacoma’s Josh Atencio’s patient game and sturdy defense that has notched 19 saves over his first five contests has been tricky for opponents to handle. Tucson will enter a heavy favorite to move on, but the Defiance should prove the toughest opponent it has faced thus far and if everything falls right could spring a surprise.

The Breakdown: The numbers indicate we’re in for a treat when San Antonio’s Josh Richards and Union Omaha’s Wesley Mims square off, with both players having produced plenty of goals throughout the tournament so far. The key to the game, though, may come in the defensive end for both squads. In SAFC’s victory against Charleston on Wednesday night, Richards showed off his ability to not only win by racking up goals, but also by denying his opponents scoring chances to the tune of 20 saves in the tourmanent. Mims has got plenty of firepower behind him, though, which means it’s anyone’s guess as to how this turns out.
