Rising Travels to Tulsa, Eyeing Fourth Consecutive Win, Tomorrow at 5:30 PM
September 8, 2023 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Phoenix Rising FC News Release
Heating up at the right time, Rising (11-8-8) won three matches in eight days last week, but head coach Juan Guerra is not interested in talking about the past as Phoenix travels to Tulsa (8-12-8) Saturday (5:30 p.m. on AZFSEN & ESPN+).
"What happened last week doesn't matter," said Guerra. "Full focus is on Tulsa. To us, it is the most important game this year."
Tulsa is just 1-3-1 in its last four matches but came up with a vital win against a tough San Antonio side last time out.
"Watching that game back, I thought Tulsa came out full of energy against San Antonio," said Guerra. "They wanted to go forward and create. They defended very well. You could see players trying their best to play their way out of turbulent times. Coming into that match they had some matches that did not go their way, but they found a way to get a win."
