Ba 6.24.17

HARRISON, N.J. (JUNE 23, 2017) – New York Red Bulls II (5-7-2, 17 points) hit the road Saturday for their first away trip to Ottawa Fury FC (5-4-4, 19 points), one of the USL’s newcomers. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET and will be livestreamed via the USL Match Center.


New York enters Saturday’s match on a two-game losing streak, being shutout in both of their previous matches, a feat not done since April of 2015, NYRB II’s inaugural season.


Red Bulls II will look to reignite their scoring ways in Canada. New York netted a USL-record 69 goals last season and currently sit second in the Eastern Conference with 22 goals scored.


New York has also scored at least one goal in 27 straight road matches.


In their previous contest at MSU Soccer Park in May, Ottawa had a come-from-behind victory over NYRB II scoring twice in the final five minutes earning themselves a 4-3 win.


Ottawa scored a 1-0 victory over Orlando City B at TD Place to vault them into sixth place in the USL Eastern Conference standings, two points ahead of Red Bulls II.


Following Saturday’s match, New York returns home to face Saint Louis FC at MSU Soccer Park on July 1 at 4:00 p.m. ET.
