The United Soccer League has suspended Swope Park Rangers defenders Ever Alvarado and Tommy Meyer after the two players were shown straight red cards in Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal victory over Orange County Blues FC.

Alvarado, who is on loan from Sporting KC, was shown a straight red card after a challenge from behind on Orange County's A.J. Gray in the 69th minute. The 24-year-old has been issued a one-game suspension and will miss Saturday's Western Conference Final against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2.

Meyer, 26, has been issued two separate three-game suspensions for a total of six games.
