Los Dos didn’t lose three games in succession during the 2016 USL regular season, with it last occurring late in the 2015 season.
Ethan Zubak has scored twice this season, and notched Los Dos’ goal against Seattle on his 19th birthday.
The Galaxy II are currently tied for second in the USL with 12 yellow cards this season, with defenders Hugo Arellano and Andre Zanga having earned two apiece.

Pineda’s goal was voted the USL Goal of the Week for Week 3 of the season, as his long-range blast highlighted another strong all-around performance.
