MEMPHIS, Tennessee - Memphis 901 FC looks to bounce back from a loss earlier in the week with a Saturday night contest at AutoZone Park against Bethlehem Steel FC. Kickoff tomorrow night is scheduled for 7:00.

901 FC's four-match winning streak ended Tuesday night with a 1-0 defeat to fifth-place Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, which solidified a playoff berth for the away side. At the time, Memphis 901 FC boasted the longest winning streak in the USL Championship Eastern Conference.

Pittsburgh scored off a corner kick in the 15th minute, which proved to be the difference in the match. The try was Pittsburgh's only corner kick of the night and the shot was one of only five it had in the match, as the Memphis defense held tight for the remainder of the match. Pierre Da Silva led 901 FC with five shots in Tuesday's match, two of which were blocked, and Marc Burch and Dan Metzger each had two key passes.

Memphis and Bethlehem Steel played earlier this season on March 24 in Pennsylvania, with 901 FC earning its first win in club history with a 1-0 triumph. Rashawn Dally scored his first goal as a professional soccer player in the 58th minute, and Memphis goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell recorded his first clean sheet as a pro with the shutout.

Tomorrow's match is key for playoff positioning, as 901 FC is in 12th place in the conference, eight points out of the playoffs, and Bethlehem is one spot and one point behind Memphis. Including tomorrow, Memphis has five matches remaining in the regular season.

After tomorrow's match, 901 FC hits the road to face Indy Eleven next Saturday, Oct. 5. Memphis' next home match is Saturday, Oct. 12 against Charlotte Independence. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m.

Tickets for the remainder of the season are available at www.memphis901fc.com/tickets.
