Ethan Bristow - Four crosses against Seattle Bristow registered four crosses (zero accurate) and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders FC.
Impact Bristow had an okay second game for the loons, registering four crosses in his 64 minutes of play. The 21-year-old has only played two matches all season for the loons but seems to be a new starter within Minnesota's back line. He seems to be a decent two-way player so far and could be a decent addition heading into the playoffs.

D.J. Taylor - Generates seven crosses Taylor generated one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.

The 26-year-old has only missed two matches all season and in the matches he has played, he has registered a full 90 in all but two matches. He should continue in this role until the end of the season as he is one of the Loons most important two way players.

Emanuel Reynoso - Notches 12 crosses Reynoso registered two shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (three accurate) and 10 corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders FC.

Joseph Rosales - Whips in 11 crosses in draw Rosales generated four shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders FC.
Impact Rosales had a decent outing against Seattle, notching 11 crosses, four shots, and a chance created in his 90 minutes of play. He registered his season high in shots and crosses in this match and experienced one of his best outings yet. The 22-year-old has only appeared in 15 matches this season due to injury and being called up to the Honduras national team for the Gold Cup, but should start to feature more now that he is healthy and back with the squad.

Dayne St. Clair - Quiet day in net St. Clair made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Impact St. Clair didn't receive much action in net, allowing one goal in the early minutes of the match to go along with one save. The Canadian only faced two shots on target the whole match and did well to save one but was unfortunate when the other was a perfectly placed header from close range that resulted in a goal. The 26-year-old has had a decent campaign so far this season, notching seven clean sheets in 20 appearances, and will look to add another in his next match when he takes on a Rapids team that has only scored 16 goals in 24 games this season.
