Foxes return to Fresno for two-game homestand

Fresno FC News Release

With a four-match unbeaten streak in hand and an off-week of rest, Fresno FC returns home to play two matches in five days. The Foxes start the action against Tulsa Roughnecks FC on Wednesday, April 18, followed by San Antonio FC on Sunday, April 22. The Foxes will face Tulsa for the first time this season, as captain Juan Pablo Caffa leads the expansion franchise against his former club.

The Argentine-midfielder has established himself as one of the league's top offensive threats just six weeks into the season, scoring the game-tying goal at Saint Louis FC and creating 14 scoring chances for second-most in the USL. Returning to the club is left back Alex Cooper, who missed the previous two matches with a left glute strain.

 The Roughnecks have struggled to start their 2018 campaign and are still seeking their first victory, though managing to grab their first point last week in a scoreless draw against Portland Timbers 2 at home. Tulsa's Fernando Arce leads the club with 14 chances created and Joaquin Rivas has a team-high two goals in four matches. Arce and Rivas have been the brunt of Tulsa's offense, leading the club in shots at 7 and 5, respectively.
