Following the Mingos' convincing 2-0 win over Portland Hearts of Pine, we hear from manager Matt Glaeser, goal scorer Ryan Carmichael and midfielder Jackson Castro, back in action for the first time since June. Our audio was a bit sketchy for the player interviews, but you can hear them just fine.

Forward Madison put in a pretty lackluster performance in a 3-2 loss at Westchester in what may be the last-ever meeting between the two clubs. This week, Ethan and I talk about reasons for optimism as we push for a strong finish to the season. Plus, newly named Rally Madison head coach Aaron Hohlbein joins to talk player development, building on a strong foundation and the prospects for women’s pro soccer in the US.
