WINNING FEELING

Saturday’s NPSL match with Boca Raton will mark the third match in a week for the Armada FC, but the team is also riding momentum from two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup wins. Jacksonville hosted The Villages SC in the Play-In Round and won 2-1 on Sunday. Then after Wednesday’s 2-0 win over SIMA Aguilas in Montverde, Fla., the Armada FC will now host the Tampa Bay Rowdies on May 16 in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville is returning to the NPSL schedule with Saturday’s match. The season opener was a 1-1 draw with Miami FC 2 on April 28.

 

CLEANING UP

Jacksonville continues to tighten up around the net to convert opportunities. Three of the last five goals for the Armada FC came after initial blocked shots by the opponent defense. Two came from defender Wesley Charpie, the sole goals of his professional career. The other came from Joshua Castellanos in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup match, his first professional goal also.

 

LOOKING FOR A W

Boca Raton opened the NPSL season at home against Miami United FC on May 5 and was shut out 4-0 by the visitors. Last year the team played to a 10L-0D-2W record in the NPSL Sunshine Conference. The team is hungry to get a win early in the season.

 

LOOKING AHEAD

The Armada FC will host the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the USL Wednesday in Jacksonville at 7 p.m. The Second Round U.S. Open Cup Match is only $10 and tickets are on sale at JacksonvilleArmada.com/Tickets. The next NPSL match for the Armada FC will not occur until Sunday, May 27 when the team visits Miami United FC.
