Facing a Hartford Athletic team who were the only team left in the USL Championship who had not won a game, and who they had not beaten in 10 tries, Loudoun United had several circumstances in front of them that made a result difficult. They were able to provide some pressure but could not put substantive chances on goal and allowed a first half goal to stand in a 1-0 loss at Trinity Health Stadium, the sixth straight loss for the Red-and-White.
D.C. United provides Jeremy Garay, Jacob Greene, Gaossou Samaké and Hayden Sargis on loan for the game, with the latter three starting.
