Yan Skwara, L.A Wolves FC Head Coach. “We are starting to get a rhythm with some of the new players combining with last season’s starters, which is what we want. We simply need to keep working on our one-touch game as that is what I tell the boys is  the end game. They are really starting to see the difference and tonight we had good moments of one touch play with some good movement left and right. Del Rey fought hard, but we simply outplayed them. Now we have to prepare for next weekend’s match against a tough PSA Elite, which will be a good test for us.

The L.A. Wolves next game will be this coming Sunday, May 24, 2015 vs PSA Elite U-23 at Lake Forest Sports Complex.
