The cavalry arrived in the form of three loanees from San Jose. Just in time, not only to play the required 5 games to be eligible for the playoffs, but to face the Tulsa Roughnecks FC in what we dubbed a must-win game.

Now the Republic must focus on the next task at hand, a three-game road trip. Every point the rest of the way is as precious as Gollum’s ring.
