The Utah Warriors host the Seattle Seawolves in a Monday night Western Conference match-up between the two founding teams. This is the Utah Warriors’ 3rd game in 13 days, and their 2nd mid-week match since Round 12. The Warriors are looking to retake the lead in the Western Conference, and are looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat to Old Glory DC in their 2nd match of Round 12. The Seattle Seawolves are coming off a draw with Rugby FC LA 10 days ago, and are the slightly more rested side. It’s just as well, as they need every win they can get to keep their playoff hunt alive.

These two MLR founding clubs have met 13 times in the past, with the Seattle Seawolves holding a 8-1-4 series lead. The Warriors were a minute away from clawing one back in the head-to-head series, but a last minute score from Rhyno Herbst snatched a Seattle victory from the jaws of defeat. The Seawolves now sit just 2pts back of a playoff spot in the Western Conference, while the Warriors stay on top thanks to the 2 bonus points they salvaged in this game.
