San Antonio FC News Release
At a glance...
Off to a Hot Start: San Antonio was one of seven USL Championship clubs to go undefeated in the month of March, the fourth time the club has gone undefeated in its opening month. In the early regular season, SAFC sits at the top of the Western Conference in multiple offensive categories. San Antonio currently leads the conference in goals with eight and has the highest conversion rate at 24%, while sitting in fourth place in passes four matches in.
Crunch Time: Early in the season, San Antonio has proven it's not a team to count out. Five of SAFC's eight goals this season have come in the 75th minute or later, with three of those being game-tying or game-winning scores.
Golden Guy: The reigning USL Championship Golden Playmaker has picked up right where he left off last season. Four matches into the year, Jorge Hernandez leads the league in assists (3), chances created (13) and crosses (41). The midfielder secured SAFC's first Player of the Month nomination after a hot start in March that saw him earn two Team of the Week honors. Hernandez is tied for second in all-time assist leaders for the club at 13, trailing Justin Dhillon with 17. Last year, he led the league with 10 assists, setting a new SAFC single-season record, and was fifth in the league with 52 chances created.
