Louisville City FC News Release


LOUISVILLE CITY FC WEEKLY PRESS CONFERENCE

Louisville City FC coach James O'Connor will be available at 3 p.m. on Monday, October 23, 2017, for his regular weekly press conference outside the club's locker room at Louisville Slugger Field, 401 W Main Street, Louisville.

Louisville City FC will face Rochester Rhinos in the Eastern Conference Semifinal of the USL Cup Playoffs at Slugger Field this Saturday, October 28, kickoff 7:30pm.

Tickets for Saturday's match are available at www.louisvillecityfc.com/playoffs or by calling (502) 384-8799, option 2, 9am-6pm.

The semifinal showdown was set up after No.4 seed Rochester eliminated No. 5 Charlotte Independence 2-1 on Saturday night. A deflected goal by Stefan Defregger in the 113th minute gave the Rhinos the victory in extra time at Capelli Sport Stadium, after the match finished 1-1 in regulation.

LouCity claimed their Eastern Conference Semifinal spot with a decisive 4-0 victory over Bethlehem Steel FC at Slugger Field on Friday evening. Man-of-the-match, Tarek Morad, netted a brace, while Luke Spencer and Brian Ownby added two more to give Louisville its biggest win in postseason play to date.

After becoming the 17th and last of Louisville's outfield players to find the back of the net the previous Saturday night against the Richmond Kickers, Morad has developed a taste for scoring goals instead of preventing them in his normal defensive role. A member of LouCity's squad from the club's inaugural season on, Morad had only scored four regular-season goals for the team before scoring the opening two goals of the 2017 USL Cup Playoffs.
