DHILLON STANDARD USL LOAN AGREEMENT

Ahead of Wednesday's match, Tacoma Defiance announced that it has entered into a 2019 Standard USL Loan Agreement for forward Justin Dhillon. This agreement contains a right of recall for MLS, which enables a player to play for a USL side and MLS club throughout the duration of the loan period (through the end of 2019), subject to MLS roster compliance guidelines.

Tacoma Defiance (2-12-5, 11 points) continues its second campaign in Tacoma on Wednesday against Las Vegas Lights FC (6-7-5, 23 points). Kickoff for the match is at 7:00 p.m. PT, with the game being live-streamed on ESPN+, featuring Andrew Harvey and Dave Clark on the call. Tacoma aims to bounce back from a 5-0 defeat at Real Monarchs SLC on July 12, while Las Vegas will look to snap a two-game winless streak.

In a series of key announcements on January 30 at a press conference inside Cheney Stadium, the Tacoma Rainiers and Seattle Sounders FC unveiled the long-awaited new brand for the organizations' United Soccer League club: Tacoma Defiance. Set to begin play under this new identity immediately, Tacoma's professional soccer side now officially bears the name of its hometown, while proudly paying homage to the city's maritime roots and deep sense of civic identity. The Tacoma Defiance is led by Head Coach Chris Little, who guided the Sounders FC Academy U-17 squad to the 2017-2018 U.S. Soccer Development Academy National Championship and the 2018 U-17 Generation Adidas Cup title.
