Rowdies Memorabilia - 1978 Rowdies vs Strikers Exhibition Game Report

On March 4th, 1978, the Rowdies played a pre-season Exhibition Game against the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers, which the Rowdies lost 0-2. If you read the article, it wasn't a great road trip for the Rowdies.
Also, due to injuries to several key players, the Rowdies travelled with a depleted squad, and had to have two players loaned to them by the Strikers.
Can anyone remember who the two Strikers' players were? - If anyone can help me, please leave a message, Thanks.

Many thanks to Dave Moore for this photo, and thanks to JFW for the info.
