Streaking Rowdies head to Virginia
July 15, 2022 - Riding a nine-game winning streak, the Tampa Bay Rowdies head to Leesburg, Virginia, for a match against the Loudon United FC. Saturday’s matchup marks the first meeting of the season for the two clubs, with the Rowdies emerging victorious in all four meetings last year. Tampa Bay has also played well away from Al Lang Stadium, losing just one road game this season. On Thursday, Rowdies veteran Leo Fernandes, the longest-tenured player on the squad, was named USL Championship Player of the Month. Fernandes found the net five times in five appearances for Tampa Bay, as the team went unbeaten through June. The Rowdies now sit in third place of the USL Eastern Conference, just two points behind second-place Memphis 901 and three points behind first-place Louisville City.
