HARRISON, N.J. (October 13, 2017) - New York Red Bulls II qualified for the 2017 USL Playoffs Thursday night helped by an Orlando City B defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rowdies. The loss mathematically eliminated OCB from playoff contention ahead of NYRB II’s regular season finale Saturday at the Rochester Rhinos. Sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, NYRB II can finish anywhere between sixth and eighth after this weekend’s slate of games.
Only in their third season, NYRB II have qualified each year for the USL Playoffs, most recently winning the USL Eastern Conference, USL Shield and USL Cup in 2016.
