LAST TIME OUT: Saint Louis FC settled for a 1-1 draw against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in STL FC's inaugural home opener last Saturday at World Wide Technology Soccer Park. STL FC took the lead just before halftime when midfielder Brandon Barklage scored off a corner kick from teammate Patrick Doody. Pittsburgh responded in the second half, however, as Vinnie Dantas equalized in the 72nd minute to salvage a point for the visitors.

THE OPPONENT: Through their first four matches of the regular season, the Rochester Rhinos are undefeated and currently sit second in the USL Eastern Conference standings with eight points. The Rhinos were last in action on Thursday night, when they rallied to earn a 1-1 draw against Louisville City FC at Slugger Field.

THE SERIES: This weekend's match will be the first of two meetings between Saint Louis and Rochester during the regular season. The Eastern Conference foes will meet again on August 30 in Rochester.

LEAGUE HONORS: On Tuesday, Barklage was named to the USL Team of the Week following his performance against Pittsburgh last weekend. STL FC has now boasted three USL Team of the Week honorees over the past two weeks, as goalkeeper Mark Pais and forward Jermie Lynch were nominated following the club's 2-0 win at Tulsa on April 2.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN: After two consecutive home matches against Pittsburgh and Rochester, Saint Louis FC will travel to Oklahoma City to face OKC Energy FC next Saturday, April 25. Kickoff will be at 7:00pm at Taft Stadium.
