Tonight, the closest EPLWA team to our unfortunately unrepresented city, South Sound FC, makes their home debut tonight at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood at 7:00 PM against Wenatchee United.

The Shock are trying to pack Harry Lang Stadium, which is just a few exits up I-5, so they are offering free admission to youth dressed in uniform and admission for anybody dressed in South Sound FC gear or US Soccer American Outlaws gear will be donation based.

The Shock are 2-0 in league play with a 2-1 win over Yakima United last week and a 2-0 win over WestSound in week one.
