Tragic news hit the Philadelphia Union community with the passing of Union goalkeeper Holden Trent. Todd opens the show talking about Holden's achievements at High Point University, and Philadelphia Union II head coach Marlon LeBlanc talking about Holden's legacy. And if you thought playoff soccer was done in Philadelphia with the Union not making the playoffs, you're WRONG! Philadelphia Union II defeated Crown Legacy 4-3 on penalty kicks to advance to the MLS Next Pro Eastern Conference Finals! Todd goes over his thoughts from the game and talks about the similarities between the first and second team, Markus Anderson's first 45 minutes and an injury update from Marlon LeBlanc, Union II's defense holds Crown Legacy to only three shots on target, Neil Pierre's ball playing abilities, the growth that Marlon LeBlanc has seen from his young team, and how much the fans mean to the coaches and players.
