CARSON, CALIF. - Tacoma Defiance (3-4-4, 13 points) drew 1-1 on Sunday with LA Galaxy II (3-6-4, 13 points) in Southern California as the teams met each other for the third time this season. The two sides played to a 1-1 draw in Tacoma's season opener on May 9, while Defiance earned a 2-0 home win at Cheney Stadium on June 27.

Tacoma put its foot on the gas early, netting a goal in the 18th minute courtesy of Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez, who slotted a shot past the keeper after beating a defender in the area. The visitors took the one-goal lead into halftime before letting in an own goal in the 55th minute when a scramble in the 18-yard-box led to a deflected ball off the foot of Randy Mendoza that found the back of the net.

Tacoma wraps up its road stretch and travels up the coast to the Bay Area to take on Oakland Roots SC for the first time this season on Saturday, July 17 (5:30 p.m. PT / ESPN+).
