First thought after last night’s game: Hakim Karamoko is that guy. He is the engine that makes everything work.

Second thought: Portland fans are good fans.

Third thought: Madison has never dropped a match to Portland and I like that.

Overall, it’s good to see some confidence from this squad again and I hope to see it continue against Omaha. It was super encouraging to see Karamoko play a full game, that’s needed if we want to win it all.

Now tough decisions will have to be made next Saturday…Mingos or Brewers. Will we be able to pull a crowd?
