The Quakes draw 2-2 in Austin, while the second team defeat LAFC2 1-0.

Monterey Bay beat the Quakes in Open Cup play 1-0.  Happy to see QuakesFan.com deliver a very honest take on Cade Cowell, and why he could be leaning into the Freddy Adu trap.  It’s still early for him to see how he develops but there was that one forward who did well in the reserves back in the day and became a team legend.  The jury is still out here but again we want to hear the chatter from Quakes territory–the GBU as noted. Check it out.
