ZODIAC TODAY
Opponent--Orlando SunDogs
Site--Santa Ana Stadium
Time--5 p.m.
Records--SunDogs 9-10, Zodiac 6-10.
Zodiac update--It will play without five players who are serving one-game suspensions for ejections in previous games. Midfielder Sergio Mengual, who was called for two yellow cards in a game against Nashville July 6, and Daniel Macedo, Juan Guerrero, Mike Robles and Marco Cerna were red-carded July 12 against Minnesota. Despite the ejections, which left the Zodiac with only eight players on the field, the team ended its six-game losing streak with a shootout victory. Today, the Zodiac is expected to activate Jose Vasquez, who has missed nine games with a broken foot. Jake Darcy (concussion) and Felipe Rodriguez (knee) are also expected back.
SunDog update--Orlando, which beat the California Jaguars, 1-0, Friday, is led by Sebastian Barnes, who began the weekend tied for fourth in scoring in the A-League with 23 points (11 goals, one assist).
