Last week, our journey in North Carolina earned us another point on the road with a 0-0 draw. Having Koke Vegas back on the field was a boost, and our defense held strong once again, ensuring we grabbed a valuable point away from home. Now, we’re thrilled to return to Bernie Stadium with our fans backing us!

Currently, Rhode Island FC sits at 10th place in the Eastern Conference table with 8 points. Tonight, we face a tough test against the current USL Championships Western Conference leaders, Sacramento Republic FC. They’re at the top of the Western Conference table with 5 wins, 4 losses, and 0 draws, coming off a solid 2-0 victory against Monterey Bay FC.

We’re still chasing our first home win of the season, and there’s no better time to achieve it than against a strong opponent like Sacramento Republic FC, especially on Mother’s Day weekend! How do you assess our team’s progress this season? Will you be joining us at Bernie Stadium tonight? It’s a perfect night for football! Whether you’re local or tuning in from afar, let’s unite behind our team as they aim for that crucial first win on Rhode Island soil and strive to gather some much-needed points! #UpTheTide
