Remember the 2016 USL Cup Final? Ryan Meara, Aaron Long, Derrick Etienne, Tyler Adams, Ben Mines, Florian Valot, and Vincent Bezecourt surely do - since they all played in the 5-1 win over Swope Park Rangers that capped an incredible season for New York Red Bulls II. And the match included one magnificent slapstick goal that should never leave the memory of anyone who witnessed it.
It’s possible that one or two from the II-team’s USL Cup winning roster might feature for NYRB II on March 9, 2019, when the team plays the first home game of it latest USL campaign - against Swope Park Rangers.
