TAMPA, Fla. – It’s a doubleheader weekend for the USL PRO Game of the Week on FOX Soccer, with the Dayton Dutch Lions heading west to face the Los Angeles Blues at 11 p.m. ET Friday and Orlando City playing host to the Rochester Rhinos at 6:30 p.m. ET Saturday. Both games will be seen live on FOX Soccer.
Saturday night brings us the third matchup of the season of USL PRO’s two heavyweights, with the National Division-leading Rhinos (9-5-3) traveling to the Florida Citrus Bowl to face the American Division’s top team in Orlando City (11-3-6). The Rhinos are looking to return the favor after Orlando City handed them their only home defeat of the season two weeks ago. Orlando enters the game looking to get back on track with only one win in its past four USL PRO games (1-2-1).
Kenn Tomasch, the voice of USL PRO, will call the action from Orlando with former University of Maryland standout Jason Arnold providing commentary from the sideline.
Friday night we showcase a pair of National Division teams for the first time this season, with the Dayton Dutch Lions heading to Los Angeles in need of points when they face the Blues at Titan Stadium. Dayton is paced by midfielder George Davis, whose four goals lead the Dutch Lions.
Los Angeles is fighting for playoff position in the National Division and will look to forward Chukwudi Chijindu (3 goals, 2 assists) to provide a spark. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET (11 p.m. PT), with longtime FOX Soccer play-by-play man Mark Rogondino and former U.S. National Team and MLS star Chris Klein providing the commentary.
The next USL PRO Game of the Week is slated for Friday, July 22 when the Pittsburgh Riverhounds hit the road for a National Division showdown with Rochester. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. from Sahlens Stadium.
USL’s broadcast package with FOX Soccer in 2011 includes 15 live game broadcasts – 10 USL PRO regular season games as well as a USL PRO quarterfinal and semifinal, the USL PRO championship game and the championship games for the PDL and W-League.
