The second will be Saturday, March 2, 2019 at the Family Arena. • These two teams also met twice last season, with the Heat prevailing in both matches. FAMILIAR FACES IN DIFFERENT PLACES • Tonight’s game is a homecoming for Douglas Dos Santos, who the Ambush acquired from the Heat for cash considerations before the start of the season in November. Dos Santos appeared in 14 games for the Heat last season. • Although he never played for the Ambush, veteran Heat defender Marcos Chantel did play for a St. Louis team earlier in his career. Chantel appeared in 10 games for the 2005-06 St. Louis Steamers. NEW FACES ON THE AMBUSH • Ambush Head Coach Hewerton held open tryouts in Brazil in this summer, in addition to the traditional summer tryouts in St. Louis. Three new faces on the Ambush roster (midfielder Mario Marcos, defender Felipe Silva and defender Magui Souza) came from those tryouts in Brazil. • Two other acquisitions help give the Ambush a new look. Speedy midfielder Antonio Manfut was signed as a free agent during the off-season and defender Douglas Dos Santos was acquired earier this month in a transaction with Harrisburg. • The Ambush also added 22-year-old goalkeeper Marijo Musa this week just before the roster deadline for this weekend’s games. LEAGUE LEADER • In addition to the new faces on the Ambush, defender Rob Acosta is another player worth watching. Acosta led the league last season in blocked shots (49) and captured the MASL’s Defender of the Year Award. ST.
