The LA Striker's inaugural year has been one of growth, allowing players to team build and improve, capping their season record at (4-9-1). With the team's visit to K&N, the Strikers were able to learn more about K&N products and the process of taking a filter from raw material to finished good with all the benefits K&N parts include.
