10 to Go: A Look Back over the First 24 Matches of 2024
August 29, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Sacramento Republic FC News Release
A season marked with career milestones, exciting rivalries, and resilience - 2024 so far has been nothing short of exciting. Before the club turns its attention to kicking off its last 10 games in the regular season by facing second-in-the-East Charleston Battery, have a look at the Quails' season so far, by the numbers:
24 Weeks at the Top of the Table
The Indomitable Club has displayed an unwavering drive for excellence as they managed to maintain a top position in the Western Conference for 24 consecutive weeks - with the only exception being two weeks spent in the third position.
Dominance on the Road
Best away record in the league (6-1-4)
Most goals on the road in western conference (20)
Least amount of goals conceded on the road in the league (10)
22 POTW Selections
The week-one selection of Republic FC forward Trevor Amann to Player of the Week began a season-long pattern of league-recognition for the Quails. As of now, Sacramento has claimed a total of 22 selections - with multiple selections representing both Republic FC's offensive unit and defensive core.
Netting Across the Roster
The Indomitable Club's mid-season 33 goals is a result of talent from all over the pitch. With one-third of goals scored by Republic FC substitutions, the backline with three - doing more than just defending, and a team-high nine goals belonging to striker Trevor Amann.
Republic FC also marks its 10 games left with a +13 goal differential - the best in the West. This not only reflects the squad's ability to score goals, but how well they prevent them.
Defensive Consistency
Only 20 goals conceded - a league best.
Danny Vitiello leads the league's goalkeeping corps with 11 clean sheets, eight nominations and six wins for Save of the Week, and another fan vote winner for Midseason Goalkeeper & Player of the Year
In the 26 matches played so far this season, Republic FC has never lost by a multi-goal deficit.
