“I think the fans and everything comes into play [when it comes to clean sheets],” said Daly. “When we're at home, our No. 1 goal is to protect the house. Winning on the road is tough, so when you're at home, you want to shutout your opponent because your odds at winning higher. It's a combination of it all – the fans, the team, the field - we all jell better at home.”

Now, the task at hand will be to continue that trend as the race for the USL Cup Playoffs gets tighter. It starts at 6 p.m. Sunday when first-place Orange County SC rolls into Chukchansi Park as the Foxes look to avenge a 3-0 road loss from their first meeting earlier this season.

By no coincidence, the following week is when the Foxes began clawing their way up the Western Conference ladder. It started with a massive 4-0 result over Seattle Sounders 2 - the first of three four-goal games the Foxes would deliver to their fans over the next six weeks. And it's known they couldn't have done it without their home crowd.

“It’s just a different atmosphere,” Pedro Ribeiro says. “We’ve only lost two at home all season, so it's always important to get points at home, especially three. Having friends, family and our fans supporting us from the stands is always an extra boost.”
