(Rochester, NY)...The United Soccer Leagues announced that the Rochester Raging Rhinos appeal for defender Bill Segewick's six game suspension has been denied.

Sedgewick, who has already sat for one-match, will sit out five additional USL First Division matches. Sedgewick is still eligible for upcoming U.S. Open Cup and friendly matches.

Sedgewick, the 6-0, 185-pound defender from Wheatridge, Colorado, is in his seventh season with the Rhinos. He currently ranks third on the Rhinos all-time list in games played (156), games started (139) and fouls (225). Overall, in his eight-year A-League career, Sedgewick has appeared in 207 regular season games, including 51 with the Montreal Impact (1997-1998). Sedgewick was a member of two Rhinos' A-League Championships (2000 and 2001) and the team's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title in 1999.
