It is the second consecutive season that the Galaxy has faced the Seahorses on the Seahorses’ home field. Last year, the Seahorses held a 2-0 lead before the Galaxy rallied to tie it, 2-2, in regulation and scored during “injury” time to pull out a 3-2 victory.

"Even though David Beckham will not have arrived yet we are honored to play against the Galaxy, they are clearly the most recognized brand today in US club soccer." said Paul Gizzi, Seahorses’ general manager. “Obviously, it will be a good measure of where we stand, so just playing them on our field in front of our fans is a privilege.”

“Last year was extremely exciting. We were ahead, 2-0, and they had their first-line goalkeeper and several other key players on the field. It was a great crowd and the fans were going crazy at the fast action. I’m sure this year’s game will be more of the same.”

The Seahorses went on to win their division title last season in the USL Premier Development League’s Southwest Division. They return nine players.
