Siouxland United FC Outlaws ready to start second season in NPSL

Yahoo02-05-2025
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – Summer is nearly here and that means great weather for National Premier Soccer League play in Siouxland, and no one is more excited to get the season started than the Siouxland United FC Outlaws.
The Outlaws are entering their second season in the NPSL in the North Conference facing teams from Sioux Falls, Minnesota, and Iowa.
In its inaugural season the club split its games 6-6 with zero draws.
With several new additions to the team, including a new head coach, the Outlaws are ready to take the field once again.
'It's a pretty new team. It's a new start,' Siouxland United FC midfielder Yali Cohen said. 'Last year we went 6-6, it wasn't like our target and our goal for last season, but I think for this season we're going to go over expectations and we're going to do good things.'
'Last season I was with a different club in the conference, so I'm definitely very familiar with the club and the conference and those types of things,' Siouxland United FC head coach Alex Trent said. 'Playing-wise, as a group they competed, they gave everything, they were a challenge for us. I definitely have respect for the group last year, coaching staff, those types of things, but we're excited to move forward with the group that we have now.'
The Outlaws first game is scheduled for Saturday, May 10th, at 7 p.m. against Sioux Fall Thunder FC at USF Stadium – Bob Young Field.

Fighting Tomcats, Long Island's new soccer team, facing must-win for playoff berth

Long Island's newest soccer team, the Fighting Tomcats, is knocking on the door of a National Premier Soccer League playoff birth in its inaugural season, with everything coming down to a final game against New Haven United FC on Saturday. 'These guys have bought in,' head coach John Fitzgerald told The Post of his mostly local 2-3-4 squad knocking on the door of a postseason trip, as only a win will clinch come 7 p.m. at Hofstra University.

For team captain Brian Saramago, a 26-year-old account manager from New Hyde Park, it means everything to have a chance to keep playing competitively at his age. 'We just want to give it our all,' he said, adding that the Tomcats' prior 2-1 victory and 3-3 draw against New Haven are giving everybody confidence.

'Sometimes after a hard day at work, you don't really want to go to training, but then every time, I see everyone laughing and playing with each other,' Saramago said. 'That is why I think that this Saturday it's going to be something special.' 'I know I don't want it to be my last game with these guys.'

Former NBA Player Feels Anthony Edwards Would Go "Supernova" With Kevin Durant On The Timberwolves

Former NBA Player Feels Anthony Edwards Would Go "Supernova" With Kevin Durant On The Timberwolves originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Phoenix Suns' imminent rebuild seems to be on the horizon after missing the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season. Trading an aging Kevin Durant seems to be the better option for them instead of their All-Star, who is in his prime, Devin Booker. Advertisement The recent buzz seems to have made it an inevitability that we will hear about a Kevin Durant trade this summer. It is more a question of 'when and where?' instead of 'if' at this point. The former NBA player Jay Williams recently appeared on ESPN and claimed that the Minnesota Timberwolves should be the frontrunners to get Durant only due to the resulting impact on Anthony Edwards. "I personally feel that the best fit is Minnesota. Number 1, it's like Outlaws, right? It's like Tupac and Snoop on the album cover; that is, Anthony Edwards and Kevin Durant. USA Basketball was an incredible time for them. You saw their bond continue to mature." "Anthony Edwards does not call any player in the world his favorite player; he's one of the most competitive dudes you've ever met, he'll call KD that. And Marc Lore, Alex Rodriguez, new ownership in Minnesota, if it's a year deal, I would sign KD to an extension, because it helps Anthony Edwards get to that next level. He's a superstar, but Anthony Edwards can become a supernova if he has KD by his side." Following his experience with veterans like Stephen Curry and LeBron James in the Olympics, the resulting impact on his game was visible in this season itself. He first led the Timberwolves to beat Kevin Durant's Suns 4-0 in their season series. Then in the Playoffs, his team beat both Curry and James' teams, the Warriors and the Lakers, in five games to head to his second consecutive Western Conference Finals experience. Advertisement Anthony Edwards averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 79 games this season. Edwards and the Timberwolves seem to be on the precipice of becoming a team that could win multiple championships over the next decade. If he gets another 25 points per game scorers like Durant on his team, he would no longer feel pressured to carry their offensive load and play even more freely. Julius Randle, who came to the Timberwolves as part of a trade for Karl-Anthony Towns, was a consistent second option for Edwards this season. However, his lack of experience in the Playoffs proved pivotal, and he failed to show up for them in two games and finished with 6 and 5 points in games 2 and 4 of their series against the Thunder. If they replace Randle with Durant as the second option for Edwards, it would propel the Timberwolves and Edwards personally to another level. Should Rodriguez and Lore pull the trigger and go all in on a win-now move for Durant? Let us know what you think in the comments section.
