Wow, what a month we’ve had — two home matches sold out, with crowds packing the rafters! At our final Run With the Pack of the regular season, the energy was off the charts.

Mark your calendars, grab your friends, and join us on the big night as we celebrate the spirit of our team and fans. Let’s make this summer one to remember!
