Opportunity to Bounce Back
After a 3-0 loss to St. Louis CITY2 last Sunday, John Gall’s squad is ready to turn things around against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2. The last time these two teams met, North Texas SC won 3-2 in the MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs quarterfinals. Since taking over as head coach, Gall has one win and one draw against Vancouver. He also became the first NTSC coach to win on Canadian soil—now he’s aiming for that same success at home.
Captain Sarver Leading the ChargeAhead of the season opener, Sam Sarver was named team captain for 2025. In last week’s match, he led the team with three key passes, completed 18 total passes, and created three scoring chances on the wing. With a young squad around him, Sarver will play a key role in bringing the team together.
Scouting Vancouver
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 is led by head coach Ricardo Clark, former Houston Dynamo FC midfielder. The team is coming off a 3-3 comeback draw against LAFC2 last Sunday, where they won the penalty shootout for the extra point. Clark’s last win in Arlington came on April 9, 2023, when Vancouver took a 4-1 victory over North Texas SC. Since then, he has registered two losses and one draw.
