PHOENIX (June 22, 2018) — Phoenix Rising FC heads back on the road Saturday night, when it faces Rio Grande Valley Toros FC at the H-E-B Park. The match kicks off at 5:30 p.m.

Phoenix Rising FC (9-3-4) will carry a two-game winning streak and four-match unbeaten streak into South Texas after defeating Tulsa Roughnecks 3-0 at home in its most recent match. In the win, Jason Johnson scored a wondrous scissor kick goal while Chris Cortez and Kevaughn Frater each chipped in a tally and goalkeeper Carl Woszczynski earned his fifth clean sheet of the season and second in the span of a week.

The three points kept Phoenix Rising in second place in the Western Conference standings with 31 points. PRFC is off to its best start to a season in club history with 31 points in 16 matches and can equal the club’s record streak of shutouts with a fourth consecutive clean sheet this weekend. PRFC also leads all of USL in goals scored (33), shots attempted (267) and goal differential (plus-18).

Rio Grande Valley Toros FC (1-6-7) stumbles into Saturday’s contest in the midst of a three-game losing streak. RGV has lost each of its last three matches, including most recently a 3-1 defeat to Oklahoma City Energy FC. Attacker Aldo Quintanilla has scored four goals for RGV this year, leading the side.
