A busy home slate awaits Rochester after 18 days without a game.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — With last Saturday’s flooding in St. Louis, the Rhinos will go 18 days between matches. However, their next 18 days will feature up to five straight matches at home before hitting the road for their Florida road trip.
Wednesday, May 17 at 7 pm, Rochester will play host to FC Motown in the Second Round of the US Open Cup. The Rhinos are 35-17-5 all time in the competition, including the 1999 Cup title.
FC Motown made it through after a challenging 2-1 extra time victory over New Jersey Copa FC of the National Premier Soccer League in Wednesday’s First Round match. FC Motown is based in New Jersey and plays in the Garden State Soccer League, and Rhino’s own Christiano Francois played for the club last season.
All tickets are $8 with on-field tickets available for $20. The 1999 Rochester Raging Rhinos head coach Pat Ercoli will hand out mini-flags commemorating the 1999 USOC Title at the main gate.
Sunday, May 21 at 4 pm, the Rhinos will entertain the Richmond Kickers in the second Old Guard Shield match of the season. It will be Soccer Mom Appreciation Day. There will be a halftime Mother’s Day Parade for the first 100 mothers who register either in advance or at the stadium. Those who register will get a $5 Genesee Brew House coupon and automatically will be entered to win a Shear Ego Spa Package worth nearly $200. There also will be a halftime soccer game between moms and their kids.
