On Tuesday evening, Salmon Bay FC and Ballard FC will hit the road for an away double header in Tacoma. Ballard FC will kick off at 4pm followed by Salmon Bay FC at 7pm.
For the first time in organization history, there will be an away doubleheader as both Salmon Bay FC and Ballard FC take on Tacoma on Tuesday.
Salmon Bay are at the business end of the season where every match feels like a must-win in the division title and playoff chase and Tuesday’s contest is no different. However, Salmon Bay still control their destiny as they will win the division if they win the remainder of their matches. After the big win on Friday where Salmon Bay FC handed FC Olympia their first loss of the season, the playoff push is even more tight towards the top of the table.
Bellarmine Prep is just under an hour from Interbay Stadium and so some fans many see it as a potential away day. If you are planning to travel, tickets can be purchased at the ticket booth. Now, let’s meet Tuesday’s hosts.
Tacoma Galaxy
The Tacoma Galaxy currently sit in fifth place out of six teams in the division with seven points from eight matches. Despite the rough start to the season, the Galaxy kept it very close against Salmon Bay FC when the two clubs met at Interbay Stadium for the home opener. In that match, Salmon Bay won 1-0 courtesy of a Hallie Bergford penalty kick.
Bergford is Salmon Bay’s leading scorer so far this season and will look to strike against Tacoma again on Tuesday night. The Galaxy’s goalkeeper, Malie Chamberland stood on her head in the previous meeting and has been good for tacoma all season. long. Bergford and co. will need to find something special to score.
If you cannot make it to the match, you can watch the live stream or watch live at the Reuben’s Brews Ballard Taproom.
What’s next?
Salmon Bay FC stays on the road as they travel to Olympia to take on the division leaders on Friday, June 27th. Then, they will return home for the regular season finale against Bigfoot FC on Sunday, June 29th.
