The Rhinos return to USL action for the first time since April 29, when they took a 4-0 victory against Charlotte Independence at Capelli Sport Stadium behind four different goal-scorers.
Rochester’s most recently scheduled USL contest against Saint Louis FC was postponed from May 6 due to flooding in the St. Louis area. The game has been rescheduled for July 5.

Jalen Brown and Jochen Graf both scored in the opening 10 minutes against FC Motown before Rayane Boukemia’s late tally, setting up a game with GPS Omens in the Third Round at Capelli Sport Stadium on May 31.

The Kickers were held to a 0-0 draw by the Harrisburg City Islanders in their last league outing at City Stadium last Saturday night.
Richmond was eliminated from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup by Christos FC on Wednesday night as a late goal by Geaton Caltabiano sent the visitors through.
