    Seven times in our existence, we've had a player lead the team in goals without breaking into double digits. And given we're more than halfway through the season in 2022 with the leading goal total at three, it sure looks like that will become 8/18 seasons in single digits. The single digit years, listed from top (so, nine) to bottom (six):

    2016 - Yura with 9 and Plata with 9
    2005 - Kreis with 9 (second is Andy with 5)
    2015 - Javi with 8 (second is Sebastian Jaime with 5)
    2020 - Damir with 8 (second is Meram and Rusnak with 3)
    2017 - Yura, Luis Silva, Rusnak, and Plata all with 7
    2008 - Yura with 7 (second is Findley with 6)
    2007 - Findley with 6 (Chris Brown in second with 5)

    I suppose there's a small chance someone goes on a tear, and by someone I mean Jefferson. He is tied for the lead with 3 (with Cordova, Meram, Glad, and Wood) but has far fewer minutes so far.

    What do you think? Is Findley's "record" in danger?

    Seems like it is. Cordova and Savarino both at 4 goals now. Sava is doing really well since coming back so I can see him passing 6 easily.

    I’d wager one if not both of sava and cordova pass Findley

    I will say that both beat Findley and one breaks double digits.

    Here's how many points each of those years had through 22 games. RSL has 33 points this year:

    2016: 34 points*
    2008: 30 points*
    2015: 29 points
    2017: 24 points
    2020: 22 points
    2005: 19 points
    2007: 18 points

    So in some years, the teams have been poor. * denotes years the team made the playoffs.

    30 points to make the playoffs. Wow. Things have changed quite a bit since 2008.

    The chart shows points through 22 games, not the season total.

    Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I misread your post. That's my bad.

    I can’t take credit for the chart. Putting it together represents work…which I avoid. Kudos to @SpiffCoug for putting it together and posting it.
