Atlanta Silverbacks News Release


The Atlanta Silverbacks Men played last weekend in front of a standing-room only crowd of 3,217. With just over 500 tickets remaining, this weekend is shaping up to be another sell-out weekend for the Silverbacks. The Silverbacks, 1-3-2, will face the defending USL Champions, the Seattle Sounders on Saturday, June 10 at 7:30 pm.

After last week's 3-2 win over long-time rivals the Charleston Battery, two Silverbacks were named to the USL Team of the Week. Jason McLaughlin received the honors after scoring a goal and getting an assist; Matt Bobo received the honors after scoring the Silverbacks' first goal in RE/MAX Greater Atlanta Stadium. The Silverbacks tied the Sounders last season in Seattle and lost to them in Atlanta.
