OKC Energy FC news and notes
Current record: 4-5-1, 10pts
Energy FC recorded its third win in the past four games with a 3-2 victory against Phoenix Rising FC on Tuesday night in the USL Game of the Week on ESPN3.
Wojciech Wojcik scored a pair of goals, and Kyle Hyland also found the net, as Energy FC held on late to move within range of the Western Conference playoff positions.
Wojcik suffered a fractured left elbow late in Tuesday’s contest, and will be out indefinitely after undergoing surgery.
Energy FC will also be without goalkeeper Cody Laurendi for both San Antonio’s visit, and the club’s game against the Colorado Rapids in the Fourth Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup after being called into Puerto Rico’s squad for an international exhibition against Indonesia next Tuesday.
