After suffering their first road loss of the season last Saturday, New York Red Bulls II will hit the road again and face the Harrisburg City Islanders Tuesday night at 7 p.m.


NYRB II enter the match in second place of the Eastern Conference with a record of 12-3-5, while the City Islanders sit in 12th at 6-13-3. Red Bulls II are just one point behind Conference leaders Louisville City FC and can take sole possession of first place with a win Tuesday night.

New York has conceded only 17 goals so far this season, which is second best in the Eastern Conference. Goalkeeper Ryan Meara has been solid at the back all season with seven clean sheets.


After returning from the Chipotle Homegrown Game in San Jose, midfielder Tyler Adams has been named number five in the USL 20 Under 20.


Harrisburg is coming off a 1-1 draw to the Rochester Rhinos on Friday. Aaron Wheeler leads the team with five goals on the season.
