The Hoops narrowly saw off Miami 1-0 on the road, courtesy of a goal from Jesus Ferriera, before sealing a late 2-1 win over Salt Lake. Bernard Kamungo scored an 88th-minute winner to seal all three points.
With 14 points in the bag from eight games, Nico Estevez's side are up to fourth in the Western Conference.
