Matchup vs Columbus Crew 2
Sunday's matchup with Columbus Crew 2 will be the third meeting between the two teams this season. CT United will look to pick up its first result in the series after narrow losses earlier this year. The rematch holds added weight as the Coywolves continue their push for a playoff spot down the stretch.
Coywolves Staying Hot
CT United enters Sunday's match after picking up another win last week, extending their run to seven victories in their last nine matches, including four of their last five, all at home. The surge has the Coywolves up to 9th in the Eastern Conference, tied on 28 points with 8th-seeded NYCFC II, as CT United pushes for one of the eight playoff spots in their inaugural season.
Standout Coywolves
Forward Dylan Lacy earned Man of the Match and MLS Next Pro Player of the Matchweek honors last week, scoring twice against Red Bull New York II, including a 92nd-minute game-winner. Lacy has continued to make well-timed, late-arriving runs into the box all season and ranks third on the team in both chances created (21) and tackles per 90 (2.8). Lacy has started nine consecutive matches for the Coywolves, playing every minute along the way.
Midfielder Robbie Mora made his first appearance in nearly two months last week and wasted no time making an impact, delivering the line-breaking pass that sprung the sequence for CT United's game-winning goal. Mora brought composure and stability to the midfield in his return, controlling the tempo of the match from central midfield.
Goalkeeper Gunther Rankenburg continued to bring veteran poise and leadership to CT United's defense, coming up with key saves in the first half to keep the Coywolves in the match. He completed 95% of his passes from the back, continuing to anchor a Coywolves defense that has been one of the stingiest in MLS Next Pro.
