MATCHDAY NOTES
GET TO KNOW FC NAPLES
Hearts of Pine host FC Naples this weekend in a matchup with major playoff implications. Naples, strong in their inaugural USL League One season, have built a reputation around a solid back line and the scoring touch of forward Karsen Henderlong. Just a few points separate the two sides in the table, and with Hearts pushing to climb and Naples aiming to hold their ground, every moment will matter in this late-season showdown.
