Bethlehem Steel FC announced Thursday two preseason matches ahead of its second season in the United Soccer League. The two games will see Steel FC square off against a pair of local universities--Villanova and Temple--in the first week of March.
With training already ongoing at YSC Sports in Wayne, Penn., the preseason slate begins on Wednesday, Feb. 22, against National Premier Soccer League member Junior Lone Star FC. The games against Villanova and Temple are scheduled the following week. A full preseason schedule will be announced at a later date.
The preseason matches serve as tune-ups prior to the regular season starting for Steel FC on Saturday, April 1 when the club hosts 2015 USL champions Rochester Rhinos at Goodman Stadium, on the campus of Lehigh University.
