Rochester Rhinos News Release


ROCHESTER, NY... The Rochester Rhinos host the two-time, defending USL PRO Regular Season Champion Orlando City Lions on Saturday, May 18th, 2013 at 7:05PM in Sahlen's Stadium.

The Rhinos won their first match of the 2013 season on Friday, May 10th, 2013 with a 1:0 result in Legion Stadium against the Wilmington Hammerheads. New England Revolution striker Matt Horth scored the only goal of the match in the 79th minute. 2012 USL PRO Goalkeeper of the Year Kristian Nicht returned to form with three saves to keep his second clean sheet of the season, while 2012 USL PRO Defender of the Year Troy Roberts made a timely tackle on Wilmington substitute Steven Perry in the 76th minute to keep the Eagles off the score board.

Nicht became the first Rhinos player to be named to the USL PRO Team of the Week this season, while Horth received Honorable Mention for his efforts. The result allowed Rochester to climb over Wilmington into 11th place in the table.

"We went into one of the more difficult places to play in USL PRO and were able to get a result." Rhinos head coach Jesse Myers said. "We hung in there defensively in the first half, and then we were able to begin to control the match a little bit more in the second half with our possession."
