AMBUSH PLAY TWO AT HOME THIS WEEKEND

by Jim Fossell

St. Charles, Missouri (February 27, 2025) – The St. Louis Ambush play twice at The Family Arena this weekend. On Friday, February 28, Utica City FC comes to town for a 7:05 p.m. CT first kick. On Sunday, March 2, the Ambush host the Dallas Sidekicks at 5:05 p.m. CT.

Friday’s match against Utica is the only meeting between the two teams slated for the 2024-2025 regular season. Sunday’s contest against Dallas is the second of two games between the Sidekicks and Ambush this season. The Ambush won the first meeting between the two teams 5-4 on December 20 at the Family Arena.

Ahead of this weekend’s action, the Ambush acquired midfielder Colin O’Keefe from the Dallas Sidekicks for cash considerations just before Thursday’s trade deadline. The 2024-25 season is O’Keefe’s third in the Major Arena Soccer League. He spent his 2021-22 rookie season with the Harrisburg Heat, then joined Dallas for the 2022-23 season until the present. In 42 career MASL games, he has tallied 13 goals, nine assists and blocked 24 shots. O’Keefe is a native of Buffalo, New York and played collegiate soccer at Erie Community College.

In another move, the Ambush promoted St. Louis native Amer Rados from the Ambush 2 to the main Ambush squad. In six games this season with the Ambush 2, Rados has scored 10 goals and added two assists.
