Since de Fougerolles’ arrival to the Wasatch Front, Real Salt Lake picked up 13 of 18 available points in his six starts over the final seven matches in which he was eligible, utilizing a home Decision Day win to secure a Wild Card matchup as the nine seed, traveling to Seattle Sounders FC on Thursday, Nov. 19 in an elimination match.
