    The Dynamo have had two preseason games so far:

    January 25th vs. HBU, Dynamo win 2-0

    https://www.houstondynamo.com/post/...ston-baptist-university-open-preseason-action

    This looks to have been more of a warm-up, throw guys out. Dynamo fielded a mixed line-up of first-team, RGV, and Academy players.

    Goals: Isidro Martinez (RGVFC), Danny Rios (Dynamo Academy)

    Assists: Nico Lemoine (RGVFC)


    February 6th vs. UTRGV, Dynamo win 3-0

    Not much to talk about on the RGVFC game.

    Elis straight into the A squad.

    Quintero’s absence makes it hard to tell where Memo and Martinez are in the pecking order.

    Ramirez still not getting an A squad look.

    Cropper and Nelson swap.

    Looks like Junqua got run out in the CB role.

    Andrew Samuels, Isidro Martinez, Nico Lemoine, Josh Hallenberger and Juan Carlos Obregon are the non-first team players who saw time.

    Nico Lemoine (F), Isidro Martinez (MF), Ben Willis (GK) from RGVFC will join the Dynamo for the Tucson Sun Cup. Down in the Valley tweet, but RGVFC retweeted.
