Wilmington-Richmond Highlights USL PRO Weekend Schedule
June 13, 2014 - United Soccer League Championship (USL) News Release
TAMPA, Fla. - A huge matchup between two of the league's hottest teams highlights this weekend's schedule in USL PRO as Wilmington Hammerheads FC visits the Richmond Kickers Saturday night.
It's the first of two meetings between a pair of teams that have only suffered one loss this season, with Wilmington (5-1-3) sitting sixth in the table despite playing the fewest number of games in the league thus far. Richmond (7-1-5) sits in third place and is riding a 12-game unbeaten streak, while the Hammerheads are unbeaten in six.
Other highlights of this weekend's USL PRO schedule include the Rochester Rhinos - coming off their biggest win of the season Wednesday night at the LA Galaxy II - trying to continue their momentum Saturday night when they visit Arizona United SC. The Rhinos (5-3-5), who rebounded nicely after a disappointing home loss against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, feature one of the league's stingiest defenses with only 11 goals allowed in 13 matches during the USL PRO season.
Saturday night also features the third and final matchup of the 2014 Keystone Derby, with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds traveling to face the Harrisburg City Islanders at Skyline Sports Complex. Harrisburg holds a 1-0-1 advantage thus far after a 3-1 victory in Pittsburgh Wednesday night.
The action kicks off on Friday night as Orange County Blues FC visits the Charlotte Eagles at Queens Sports Complex looking for its third win in four matches, while the Eagles try to end a four-game winless streak. Saturday night also sees the LA Galaxy II making their first trip to face the Charleston Battery, and Sacramento Republic FC visiting fellow rookie USL PRO squad OKC Energy FC.
Every game of the 2014 USL PRO season can be seen live on YouTube, with live updates also available via Twitter (@USLPRO), Facebook and Google+. Stay up to date with news, previews and match reports from throughout the league via USLPROSoccer.com.
