Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman, and Mallory Swanson — the “Triple Espresso” forward line that starred at the Olympics — have been allowed to rest and deal with injuries picked up in a long year.

Mikael Uhre and Tai Baribo scored a goal each, Dániel Gazdag scored twice, and Quinn Sullivan had two nifty assists.

Tai Baribo, Mikael Uhre, Dániel Gazdag, Jakob Glesnes, and Jesús Bueno all scored as the Union finally returned to a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Tai Baribo, Mikael Uhre, Dániel Gazdag, Jakob Glesnes, and Jesús Bueno scored as the Union overwhelmed New York City FC.

Uhre's goal in Saturday's win at the rival New York Red Bulls put him in double-digit scoring every year he has been with the Union. Jim Curtin knows it, and so do Jack McGlynn and other players.

The Union extended their unbeaten streak over their longtime rivals to 14 games. But they remained stuck in 10th place in the Eastern Conference as the playoff race heats up.

Uhre hasn't scored as many goals as fans want him to, but his teammates can help put him in better positions to score. His next goal will put him in double-digits scoring for the third straight year.
