Despite generating plenty of quality chances, the Tacoma Defiance couldn’t halt their recent slide in a 1-0 loss to St. Louis City2 on Thursday. Although this marked the first time in six games the Defiance allowed fewer than two goals, it was also the first time in six games that they failed to score at least one. Since their 4-2-1 start, the Defiance have gone 1-4-0 as injuries and various absences have left them relatively short-handed.
