Leading up to the match, the club will be hosting “Yoga on the Pitch” on Friday, June 23 before hosting a halftime zumba performance on game day. As we look ahead to Saturday, we caught up with the players to talk about their favorite pregame meal that helps them performance at the highest level.

“For pregame, it’s always pasta and chicken.”
Marc Pelosi
“Before the games I definitely like to eat some pasta. I then like to keep it lean and light with chicken and some sort of vegetable. Asparagus is my favorite.”
Tommy Thompson
“I keep it really simple with chicken and pasta. I always throw some red pepper flakes on there as well.”

“I like to keep it consistent with rice, chicken or fish.”
