Rochester Rhinos news and notes

• Current record: 11-7-10, 43pts

• The Rhinos come into this match following a surprise 1-0 loss to the Richmond Kickers last Saturday night at City Stadium.

• The game remained scoreless until the 80th minute when Richmond stole the win with a late goal to hand Rochester a second consecutive defeat on its week-long trip.

• Saturday's game kicks off a string of three home games in the final four regular-season contests for the Rhinos, who will also welcome fellow playoff contenders Bethlehem Steel FC and the New York Red Bulls II to Capelli Sport Stadium in the final month of the season.

• The Rhinos would clinch a place in the 2017 USL Cup Playoffs this weekend with a victory against Louisville and a loss for Orlando City B against the Kickers on Sunday evening at City Stadium.
