The 2016 USL regular season champion takes on the 2015 USL double-winner in a match-up that has surprising potential to be meaningful for both sides, despite the fact it is fundamentally a late-season game between two teams already on their way to the playoffs, who have only played each other six times to date.
Rochester has lost just one of its last 15 games, and only five games in the league all season. It is sixth in the Eastern Conference standings mostly because it has tied a few too many matches this year: a league-high 11 (tied with Oklahoma City Energy) of the 27 games it has played.
