@njemurray.bsky.socialWith today's win, @unionomaha.bsky.social puts the pressure on both the Charlotte Independence and @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social to respond tonight in the #USL-1 Players' Shield race.
Charlotte's game tonight at Athletic Club Boise (9 p.m. ET | CBS Sports Golazo Network) will be worth watching.
@njemurray.bsky.socialDespite being down to 10 players, Spokane Velocity FC halves the deficit through Nick Spielman midway through the second half.
Good #USL-1 finish in progress on ESPN+ as @unionomaha.bsky.social looks to hold onto its advantage.
@njemurray.bsky.socialAll of the kids getting a great lesson in how to pick apart an opponent from @unionomaha.bsky.social to start the second game of the matinee doubleheader.
Laurence Wootton and Josue Aaron Gomez both on target inside the opening 10 minutes. #USL-1
@njemurray.bsky.socialCongratulations to Corpus Christi FC's Éamon Zayed on his 50th win in #USL-1 across the regular season and playoffs. USL-1 All-Time Coaching Wins (Regular Season & Playoffs) 1. Darren Sawatzky - 64 2. John Harkes - 62 3. Mike Jeffries - 61 4. Matt Glaeser - 51 5. Éamon Zayed - 50
@njemurray.bsky.socialNice finish by Dominick Bachstein to put Corpus Christi FC ahead on the road against Greenville Triumph SC. Sharks really need a win today to boost their #USL-1 Playoffs chances - plus it would be HC Eamon Zayed's 50th in the league overall.
@njemurray.bsky.socialHere's a look at Jaime's @americansocceranalysis.com #USL-1 radars, first is central midfield, second is attacking midfield.
He came through the LAFC Academy, played more than 80 games for Las Vegas Lights (USL-C) and LAFC2 (MLSNP) before landing in Charlotte.
Should be on people's radars.
@njemurray.bsky.socialBefore today's action kicks off, here's a look at the standout U-22 performers in the #USL-C and #USL-1 from the past week.
Leading off with Charlotte's Christopher Jaime, whose having a breakout campaign as a versatile central/attacking midfielder.
@njemurray.bsky.socialYes, you're reading that correctly - there's a #USL-1 game in two hours.
We've got a pair of matinees, and big games throughout the day as the Charlotte Independence, @unionomaha.bsky.social and @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social vie to claim the Players' Shield.
@njemurray.bsky.socialThat would be the lowest Louisville City has finished in a #USL-C regular season - previously, fifth in 2023. The reason is how the side has struggled in both penalty areas. Against Eastern Conf. opponents, it's got a -3 goal differential, and a +14.86xGD. Still going to be dangerous, mind you.
@njemurray.bsky.social#USL-C Eastern Conference current standings based off maximum points available. 1. Tampa Bay Rowdies - 66 2. Charleston Battery - 58 3. Detroit City - 58 4. Rhode Island FC - 56 5. Hartford Athletic - 55 6. Indy Eleven - 54 7. Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC - 53 8. Louisville City FC - 51
@njemurray.bsky.socialI've circled Blake at the start of his run. That's some effort to get up there in support to finish. #USL-C
@njemurray.bsky.socialJack Blake again to make it 3-0 before halftime. Pretty good wheels for a 31-year-old, arriving through the same lane. 48 #USL-C regular season goals now.
@njemurray.bsky.socialHere's Jack Blake's shot map for this season. That little cluster of shots inside the D and in where Blake will consistently pop up. BKFC had to be prepared for it, and wasn't. #USL-C
@njemurray.bsky.socialJack Blake's moving closer to 50 regular season goals in the #USL-C. A classic first-time finish as he arrives at the top of the penalty area is No. 47 for the attacking midfielder.
@njemurray.bsky.socialTuesday night #USL-C? Yes, indeed.
Indy Eleven hosts Brooklyn FC at 7 p.m. ET on CBS SPorts Golazo network and @siriusxmfc.bsky.social, with #USL All Access to follow after the game on SiriusXM FC.
Indy's back to a 4-4-2, @usltactics.com.
