While several Crew players head to international duty - including Derrick Etienne Jr. (Haiti), Luis Diaz (Costa Rica), Liam Fraser (Canada), and Eloy Room (Curacao) - the team enters the break in strong form with back-to-back 2-1 victories.

The Crew currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference with 11 points from seven games. Their defense has been exceptional, conceding just six goals, though scoring was initially challenging with only one goal in their first five matches.

Lucas Zelarayan leads the team with three goals (two from free kicks), while Pedro Santos tops the assist chart with two. The team has also benefited from two own goals by D.C. United in their 3-1 win.

Upcoming Schedule:

• June 19: Final game at Historic Crew Stadium vs Chicago Fire
• June 23: Away at Philadelphia Union
• June 27: Away at expansion side Austin FC
• July 3: New stadium opener vs New England Revolution
• July 7: Hell is Real Derby at FC Cincinnati

July brings a packed schedule with additional matches against NYCFC (twice), Nashville SC, and Atlanta United - games that will likely shape the Crew's position in the Eastern Conference standings.
