GAME PREVIEW
Westchester SC, playing in its inaugural season in USL League One, enters Sunday’s game in search of its first-ever win vs. USL Championship competition, having fallen 3-1 to Detroit City FC in the Third Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on April 16. After four regular-season league games and three games in the U.S. Open Cup, the New York club has kept one clean sheet and conceded multiple goals in each of its last four games. The club sits among the top five teams in the league in both goals conceded (eight) and goals scored (eight), having most recently shared the points with the Richmond Kickers in a dramatic 4-4 draw that currently stands as the highest-scoring game in League One in 2025.
Sunday’s game will be the second time Rhode Island FC will face a USL League One expansion team in the span of two weeks. RIFC is 1W-1L-0T all-time against League One competition, and is coming off the back of a dramatic 2-1 win against Portland Hearts of Pine in the Third Round of the U.S. Open Cup on April 15. After falling victim to its third shutout loss of the season, 2-0 at Detroit City FC in regular season play over the weekend, Sunday’s trip to Westchester will mark a valuable chance to get back into the win column and stay unbeaten in tournament competition against USL League One teams this season.
