MATCH PREVIEW The Swope Park Rangers and Saint Louis FC will renew their rivalry on Saturday when the clubs square off at Toyota Stadium.

Led by second-year head coach Paulo Nagamura, the Rangers are seeking their first victory of the season after reaching the USL Cup Playoffs in each of their first three years of existence.
