When Harrisburg’s 2017 schedule was unveiled, the month of September stood out right away. While there were six matches squeezed into the thirty days, five of them would be on City Island. It certainly felt they they would be the golden opportunity for Harrisburg to build some momentum at the end of the season. As hoped, the City Islanders were able to send the local fans home happy courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Ottawa Fury FC on Wednesday and a 2-0 victory over Saint Louis FC on Saturday.
Wednesday’s match against Ottawa was a bit of a sluggish affair at first as both sides had to deal with the unexpected late September heat.
