On this edition of The Third Half:

Pittsburgh Riverhounds smile as New Mexico United play right into their hands. Yet neither El Paso Locomotive or FC Tulsa can take advantage. Copa Tejas starts with a San Antonio win and a look at how 11 couldn’t handle 10 in Miami.

We go back to Thursday where Loudoun United are getting too comfortable playing with 10, but Orange County couldn’t take advantage of it. With North Carolina not able to get past Loudoun on Sunday, could NCFC win the Southern Derby season series against Charleston Battery?

The Western Conference got tighter at the bottom in the race for the eight. Lexington SC and Oakland Roots get off the bottom while Louisville City relegate Colorado Springs to finishing the weekend in last place.

Las Vegas is happy to see the end of Sacramento Republic, Birmingham Legion frustrate Rhode Island and Nico Campuzano’s injury takes some of the shine from a fantastic Indy Eleven performance.

All that and more on this Monday edition of The Third Half. As always, thank you for your support of Beyond the 90.
