The Carolina RailHawks are still looking for revenge when they visit Minnesota. The Stars swept the season series last year 2-0-2 - with every game decided by one goal - and then knocked the regular season champion RailHawks out in the semifinals with a 1-0 home win and advanced via the away goal tiebreaker following a 4-3 second leg defeat in Carolina. The season-opening meeting in Minnesota finished in a scoreless deadlock... FC Edmonton visits the Atlanta Silverbacks in their first meeting of the year. The hosts are looking for their result of against the Canadians having been swept last year in four games by an aggregate score of 8-1.
USL Pro Previews: The weekend slate kicks off and concludes in the Caribbean with Orlando City visiting Antigua Barracuda Friday and Sunday. After winning their initial meeting in Orlando last year, Barracuda dropped the next two at home as Orlando went on to win the league and playoff championships.
Friday night action continues with the Los Angeles Blues visiting the Dayton Dutch Lions. Los Angeles took the season series with a 4-1 victory in the final meeting after a pair 1-1 draws... In Charlotte, the Eagles will be looking to avenge last week's 1-0 loss on an own goal in Rochester that came in the second game on back-to-back nights. They were unbeaten with a win and a draw against the Rhinos last year.
Los Angeles plays their second in as many nights when they visit the Pittsburgh Riverhounds Saturday. Last year in their only contest, Pittsburgh fell 3-0 in California... In Richmond, the Kickers welcome the Harrisburg City Islanders. Harrisburg won the series a year ago with a 1-0 win and 1-1 draw... The Rhinos continue a road swing through the Carolinas with a stop in Charleston. Rochester has not beaten the Battery in the last four meetings, a pair of 1-0 losses last year, and a pair of draws (0-0, 1-1) in the 2009 USL First Division season.
