LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL
A lot of things seem to be clicking for Hartford at a crucial, busy point of the 2026 campaign. The club has been able to consistently ripple the twine—something that was a struggle early in the season—and managed to pull off back-to-back, dramatic come-from-behind victories. This included a win against a deep Charleston Battery side on Wednesday night. Hartford now sits in sixth place in the USL Championship Eastern Conference standings following a steady climb from outside the playoff picture just a few weeks ago. Momentum is the key to success right now, especially with three matches on the slate within a one-week span.
