MATCH PREVIEW The Swope Park Rangers (1-7-5, 8 points) will face North Carolina FC (6-2-5, 23 points) for the first time on Saturday in a USL Championship Eastern Conference clash at Sahlen’s Stadium. Led by second-year head coach Paulo Nagamura, the Rangers collected their second clean sheet of the season last Saturday, June 8, battling Charlotte Indepenence to a scoreless draw at Children’s Mercy Park. Goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas, on loan from MLS club Sporting Kansas City, made four saves en route to his first shutout of 2019. North Carolina FC head coach Dave Sarachan, who previously managed the Chicago Fire and served as the interim boss of the United States Men’s National Team from 2017-2018, has guided his side to a strong start this season. Mario North Carolina has just two defeats in 13 matches, and despite their 4-0 loss to MLS outfit New York City FC on Wednesday, the club remains in favorable position to contend for a high seed in the USL Cup Playoffs at season’s end.
