PLAYERS TO WATCH:
Hartford Athletic – Collin Martin, MF
Martin will make his debut for Hartford Athletic after joining the team on loan from Minnesota United FC earlier in the week. Martin, who made 23 appearances for the Loons over the past 2 seasons, will have to learn on the fly as he plays with new teammates for the first time.
North Carolina FC – Mario Lomis, F
A team-leading five goals has Marios Lomis tied for fourth in the USL Championship golden boot race. While it’s still early in the season, Lomis is producing at a high rate. He’s in great form with a goal in three consecutive games. Look for the forward to continue his hot streak.
ABOUT THE OPPONENT:
North Carolina FC is riding high heading into the matchup with Hartford Athletic. Following Week 7 of USL Championship season, the team sits at fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 11 points. NCFC is four points back from league leader Tampa Bay Rowdies with a game in hand. Last weekend, North Carolina FC visited Charlotte Independence and earned a 3-0 victory with goals from Austin da Luz, Marios Lomis and Ben Speas. The win marked the sixth-straight victory over Charlotte and gave NCFC a much-needed boost of confidence. Before last weekend’s result, NCFC was winless in three matches.
