WEEKLY STORYLINES
SILENCE THE ANGELS: Whitecaps FC 2 are set to play their fifth match of their six-game road stretch this Sunday as they face LAFC2 at Titan Stadium in the first of three meetings between the two teams this season. The young 'Caps will be looking to end LAFC2's perfect home record, with the opposition entering the weekend's action first in the Western Conference. Last season, WFC2 claimed a penalty shootout victory after a 1-1 regulation draw in their lone visit to Titan Stadium.
ACADEMY PROWESS: The last couple weeks have seen a number of Whitecaps FC Academy products make their professional debuts. In the away match against Tacoma Defiance on April 21, forward Johnny Selemani (16 years, one month and five days) became the youngest WFC2 debutant in MLS NEXT Pro, while wingback Luca Chen (16 years, five months, and 16 days) became the second youngest WFC2 debutant. Last week against Portland Timbers2, midfielder Benjamin Lee made his professional debut as a substitute in the second half after seeing regular action with the club's League1 BC team over the last two seasons. Defender Immanuel Mathe and forward Mateo Clark have also made their professional debuts this season.
