Vancouver Whitecaps News Release
ATLANTA SILVERBACKS AWAY PREVIEW
Vancouver Whitecaps FC men wrap up their extended road trip through the southeastern United States when they meet Atlanta Silverbacks on Saturday evening.
Bob Lilley's side have been on the road for the past two weeks, as Swangard Stadium continues to host games in the U-20 World Cup. Vancouver's trip to the state of Georgia comes after the USL First Division champions claimed a goalless draw at Carolina RailHawks on Tuesday night. The North Carolina contest was the fourth match of the team's six-game road stand and the Whitecaps third straight stalemate result. After starting the trip with a 1-0 win at Miami FC, Lilley's side went on to draw with the Islanders in Puerto Rico before being held 1-1 at Charleston Battery in South Carolina last Saturday.

MILE HIGH EDGE PREVIEW
Vancouver Whitecaps FC women look to maintain their fine recent form when they host Mile High Edge in Chilliwack on Sunday.
Bob Birarda's side were forced to move their July 8 contest to the Fraser Valley city, as Swangard Stadium continues to play host to games in the U-20 World Cup. The 2,000-seat Exhibition Field will be the venue for the Whitecaps second W-League Western Conference meeting with Mile High and their first home game since completing a highly-successful road trip to the US state of Colorado.
