Louisville City FC News Release


Louisville City FC will square off against Union Omaha from USL League One in the second game of the 2020 Wasatch Cup Wednesday at 3 p.m.

Louisville City opened the 2020 Wasatch Cup with a 3-0 win over the Colorado Springs Switchbacks on Sunday night. A brace in the first 22 minutes from Cameron Lancaster helped Louisville City roll to three points and the top of the table.

After the first round of games, Louisville City leads the table with three points, followed by Union Omaha and Real Monarchs with one point apiece. The host Real Monarchs will play the Switchbacks Wednesday at Noon.

The Wasatch Cup will use a group table format to determine the champion. Teams will be awarded three points for a win and one point for a draw. Goal differential and then greatest number of total goals will be used as the tiebreaker in the event of two or more teams having the same amount of points.

Louisville City coach John Hackworth said he has been pleased with the trip thus far.

"We have been doing double sessions at altitude out here," Hackworth said. "We still have some things to improve on, but we have been making progress for sure."

Louisville City's final game in Utah will be Saturday at 11 a.m. vs. the host Real Monarchs.

After returning home from Utah, Louisville City will have a pair of preseason matches left before opening its USL Championship schedule on March 7 at North Carolina FC. The Boys in Purple will open Lynn Family Stadium on Saturday, April 11 vs. Birmingham Legion in a nationally televised match.
