The Tropics improved to 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was another impressive defensive effort for Florida, who blocked 16 shots, one more than they had in a 7-6 road win to open the 2022-23 season in Baltimore last weekend. Rafa Alves led that unit with five blocks, and Jorge Navarrete got the win in goal, as Utica outshot the Tropics 36-29. Navarrete was credited with the win in lowering his goal against average to 4.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their history, the Tropics are 7-0 in season openers, and now 6-1 in home openers.<br>&#8220;Total team effort again, which is something we strive for and take pride in,&#8221; Coach Clay Roberts said. &#8220;We generated a lot of chances, and got a few goals on some bounces that helped, but overall we earned what we got and we have to be pleased with the effort at both ends of the floor.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tropics will look to build on their two-win start when they host Baltimore for games Wednesday, Dec. 21 and Friday, December 23 at the RP Funding Center, before a rematch on the road in Utica on Dec. 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tickets for the game next week and on Dec. 30 against the Chihuahua Savage are<br>available starting at just $7 per game by calling the arena box office at 863-834-8111.<br>Although tickets are also available online at www.rpfundingcenter.com, service fees are<br>significantly higher through Ticketmaster as opposed to calling the box office directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo credit Christopher Arnold \/ Florida Tropics The Florida Tropics (2-0_won their sixth home opener in seven starts Saturday night in defeating Utica City FC, 9-3.
