RT if you think @DevinBook is the MVP

So a reminder to Rising fans - DO NOT make plans to go to LA for the May 1st game against Galaxy II. The match will be effectively behind closed doors.

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Update on LA II tickets for this season:
Los Dos' home opener against San Antonio WILL be open as part of a doubleheader with the first team.
A team spokesperson tells me that tickets won't be on sale to the public for other games - friends and family only.

“We’ve added three new strikers. There’s a new one coming soon” - Rick Schantz.

Just to reiterate: I do not have verification of Solo returning to Berekum Chelsea. That's just from that Ghanaian report.

My intel at present is limited to the fact you shouldn't expect to see him in Rising red next season.

#RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

While I don't have any info to hand on where exactly he's headed, this would match up with my understanding of the situation between Asante and Rising.

Namely, that a deal to keep him in Phoenix is incredibly unlikely.

Ok, so 1-10, how relieved are people at today's announcement of @lundt_ben's return to Phoenix?

#RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Big news as Ben Lundt returns to Phoenix.

He spent a chunk of last year on loan at Rising

#RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Last season, both of Rising's games away to LA Galaxy II were not open to the public. Only family and friends were allowed to attend matches.

#RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

No updates on if fans will be allowed to attend Galaxy II games this season, per a spokesperson for the LA club. They added that clarification will hopefully come over the coming weeks.

Rising will face Los Dos away on Sunday, May 1.

So go on then, who are you looking forward to seeing at Wild Horse Pass the most this coming season?

Also: Rising to travel to Vegas the following Saturday for *their* home opener

In the inbox: Rising to open season at home to Monterey Bay #RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Anguiano ranked 43rd in USL-C in chances created last season - tied with then-teammate Ray Serrano, Legion's Bruno Lapa and Pittsburgh's Russell Cicerone.

#RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Anguiano spent last season with Tacoma Defiance. Prior to that, the Oregon native played with Timbers 2.

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Rising transfer news: midfielder Carlos Anguiano joins the club.

#RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Epps' seven goals last season (one in the playoffs) came as he featured in every single San Antonio match.

He joins as a winger on a team looking to replace people like Prince Saydee, and very likely Solomon Asante too.

#RisingAsOne

[Owain Evans @ojevans18]

Sounds like @BandidosPHX are ready to go #RisingAsOne #PHXvRGV #BeChampions
