CHESTER — Pick the narrative arc of your preference at Subaru Park.

There is the striker that the Union were determined to upgrade away from playing the hero Saturday night.

There’s the goalie who was in Union colors the last time they lifted a trophy now tasked with denying them a win that could seal the second addition to that trophy cabinet. There was a team whose reputation was of beating up on bottom-dwellers who picked up the biggest win of its season against the team entering the weekend in third in the Eastern Conference.

And there was an organization that bottomed out last year, that hired a new coach, from which few people expected anything this year, doing what it took to lift a trophy, right down from one generation of goalie outjumping the other to make the final stop.
