NYRB II enter Saturday’s USL Eastern Conference Semifinal away from home as the underdog against overall #1 seed FC Cincinnati.
It’s a role that’s quite familiar to John Wolyniec’s side:
“Obviously a big challenge,” Wolyniec said. “Cincinnati has pretty much been the best team all year, top of the table for a long time. A tough place to play with the crowd, and they play well at home.”
Last year’s run to the Eastern Conference final as the seven seed serves as a blueprint for repeat success.
“We did a good job especially last year playing the underdog role,” Wolyniec said.
