Quick Hits from Jim Curtin's Press Conference after 3-1 win over Harrisburg City Islanders, presented by Xfinity

Epps scores first goal

In the 47th minute, Marcus Epps scored the first professional goal of his career. In on a breakaway, he poked the ball past Harrisburg City Islander goalkeeper Sean Lewis to seal the Union's 3-1 victory. In his post-game press conference, Head Coach Jim Curtin stressed how difficult it can be for a team to play in an Open Cup match immediately after an international break, especially for a kid who made his first start as Epps did. Epps continues to fight for minutes as a player on the first team, and his hard-work is being recognized by the coaching staff.
