TACOMA, WA. – This Saturday is game number two for the Stars (0-1-0) and round two of the six-game season series against San Diego (1-0-0) following the 11-6 Sockers win in Southern California last Sunday. This weekend’s game will be the home opener for the Stars and is the team’s annual Night of Giving featuring a Toy Drive and the Teddy Bear Toss for Toys-for-Tots.
