The Lights FC will play Major League Soccer’s D.C. United at 8 p.m. Saturday at Cashman Field. It’s the team’s last game before its March 17 regular-season opener at Fresno FC. The Lights will be looking for a result after two preseason losses. They’ll also have a lighter squad after trimming their roster from 30 to 22 players. Forward/attacking midfielder Gerardo Lugo was the most notable loss. All the guys that stay here have the opportunity to stay in the Las Vegas Lights now. No more cuts.
The Lights FC will play its first preseason game Saturday at Cashman Field.

It’ll be a good test for everything we’ve been training in preseason.”
