SAFC Embarks On Back-to-Back Matches with the Rangers

San Antonio FC (8-0-2) will face Swope Park Rangers (4-3-0) at Swope Soccer Village on Friday, May 26 at 7:30 p.m. The match will be the first time the two clubs meet this season and the fourth overall.

SAFC are looking to earn their first victory in four all-time matches against the Kansas City based club, and coverage of the match will be available on SanAntonioFC.com and the USL Match Center.

San Antonio FC is now undefeated in 10 consecutive matches, and remains unbeaten overall a third of the way into the 2017 USL season. The club is now the only undefeated team in North America, and will aim to maintain that streak on the road against the defending Western Conference Champions.

Swope Park Rangers will aim to get back on track with a win at home after falling 0-1 to Rio Grande Valley FC in Edinburg, TX on May 13. Swope is currently in seventh place in the Western Conference standings after scoring 12 goals while conceding nine so far this season.

SAFC midfielder Kris Tyrpak will return to Kansas to face his former team after winning the Western Conference title and reaching the USL Cup final with Swope last year. Tyrpak has scored one goal and tallied an assist so far this season with San Antonio FC, most recently setting up AJ Ajeakwa’s goal to earn a 1-0 win against Phoenix Rising FC last weekend.

“Going back is bittersweet,” Tyrpak said. “I’m in a new spot here at home and I love it here, but I also have some good memories in Kansas. Hopefully we can go and spoil some of those memories for them, but I’m looking forward to a good game.”

San Antonio FC will look to take all three points against Swope Park Rangers in their first of two back-to-back matches. Last season, SAFC fell twice to the club in Kansas after earning a 1-1 draw at Toyota Field in the Alamo City club’s inaugural home opener.
