WSA Winnipeg vs St. Louis Lions: Match guide and preview

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the PDL. This match was also played here at John Scouras Field at Ralph Cantafio Soccerplex. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, St. Louis Lions have had more rest. That game was an away game at Des Moines Menace, so at least WSA Winnipeg are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
