New York Red Bulls II picked up a big win and some more USL records at the weekend, and moved a step closer to finding out its first-round playoff opponent.
With only one round of games left to play in the USL Eastern Conference, the playoff picture has clarified substantially: Louisville City FC will be the second seed; FC Cincinnati has clinched third; Charlotte Independence, Charleston Battery, and Rochester Rhinos are tussling over fourth, fifth, and sixth; Richmond Kickers could rise as high as fourth and will finish no lower than seventh.
But we still don’t know the identity of the eighth seed: NYRB II’s first-round opponent.
