Five Stories

Goals Keep Coming for Saint Louis FC

Saint Louis FC piled on the goals in their 7-1 thrashing of Tulsa, . Irvin Herrera added to his tally with the opening goal, as well as another in the second half. Saint Louis FC has outscored Tulsa this season by a combined 12-3 through two matches. Look out for July 15, Saint Louis FC - luckily for Tulsa fans - faces the Roughnecks for the final time this season.

Reno Gets a Preview of USL Soccer

Greater Nevada Field, soon to the the home of Reno 1868 FC, hosted its first USL league game ever on Saturday when Real Monarchs and Sacramento Republic FC faced off for the second time in four days. The 5182 fans there, including a sizeable traveling contingent of Republic fans, were treated to a fairly entertaining 2-1 win for the Republic. A first half goal from Real Monarchs forward, Ricardo Velazco, gave the so-called home team a lead going into the locker rooms. However, second half goals from Sacramento's leading goalscorer Cameron Iwasa and San Jose Earthquakes loanee Adam Jahn erased that advantage and gave the Republic the win. Reno finished off the fireworks on the field with fireworks in the sky, ending the night with a bang.

Wilmington Ties it Late

The East's marque match of the weekend saw the table leaders face off against the hottest club of Eastern Conference. A stoppage time goal for the Hammerheads from Peabo Doue leaves both sides with a point apiece at the night's end.  Louisville are now unbeaten through eleven straight matches. Looking to continue an unbeaten streak of their own, Wilmington hosts Bethlehem on Friday.

Orlando City B Climbs Higher

Despite last week's loss to table leaders Louisville, Orlando City B have proven themselves as a club to be reckoned with in the East. Another win against a top half club - a win on the road no less - has OCB riding high in recent weeks. New York Red Bulls II visits the Space Coast this weekend, hoping to avoid becoming another top half casualty at the hands of OCB.

Toronto FC II Halt the Slide

Winless through five matches, Toronto FC II were desperate to take all three points from their Saturday match against Rochester Rhinos. They got their wish, handing Rochester a surprising 2-1 loss to round out their trip through Canada. Toronto FC II have now scored in five straight matches, with a crucial match against their fellow Canadian club, FC Montreal, set for this weekend. Rochester, who only have one victory through their last five matches, will be looking to return to winning ways against Louisville.
