This comes in the forward's first appearance of the season, only playing 19 minutes before getting that landmark moment. He will now hope to see some more time, as he only appeared three times last campaign.

Owen Wolff - Out with foot injury Wolff will not be an option to face Houston on Saturday due to a foot injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Wolff will not be available Saturday, leaving the club without one of their midfielders who has started in the past three matches.

Leo Vaisanen - Back in training Vaisanen (foot) was spotted in training Thursday, but his availability for Saturday's game against the Dynamo is uncertain, manager Josh Wolff told media.

Saturday's game against Houston might be too soon for him to return, and if he's out, then his next chance to play will come against the Galaxy on April 27.

Brad Stuver - Stops three shots Stuver registered three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to St. Louis City SC.

Impact Stuver stopped three of the four shots on his net during Sunday's 1-0 loss. The goalkeeper wasn't able to salvage the draw despite making some big saves. The team in front of him did little to help, failing to even put a shot on the opposition net. Stuver will have similarly tough roles in the coming matches as he looks set to face buckets of shots all season.

Jon Gallagher - Struggles in loss Gallagher generated two crosses (one accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus St. Louis City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 67th minute.

Impact Gallagher didn't manage to get much done during Sunday's clash, with his most productive actions coming when he was fouled. All-in-all it was a tough match for both Austin full-backs, as St. Louis controlled the match and rarely gave them chances to get forward. Gallagher has some offensive upside, but he will need to start linking up with the attack to recognize those chances in the coming matches.

Julio Cascante - Four tackles Sunday Cascante recorded four tackles (three won) and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 loss to St. Louis City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 10th minute.

Impact Cascante was disruptive, but that's about it, during Sunday's loss. He was busy chasing after ball carriers and was running throughout the match, but never really took control. Cascante is in a bit of a purple patch with two goals in the last six matches, but those goals have helped cover a very disappointing start to the season for Cascante.

Zan Kolmanic - Busy in loss Kolmanic registered four crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 1-0 loss against St. Louis City SC.

Impact Kolmanic was busy on both sides of the ball but couldn't find any end product going forward to try and bring the game back to even. Still his crosses and defensive volume are a nice combination. The defender will continue to build a nice floor off defensive volume in most matches moving forward.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Owen Wolff - Solid role on corners Wolff registered six crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus St. Louis City SC.

Impact Wolff took five corners Sunday, continuing his consistent role on set-pieces. The midfielder will have limited goal contributions with the team struggling offensively as a whole, but he should continue to pile on the counting stats. Wolff has been the primary corner taker in the last three matches, he's also started all three of those matches.
