WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Defend Legacy: Offense Despite another tough loss last week with the Triumph’s 0-2 defeat at Ft. Lauderdale, Greenville still everything to play for. This Sunday’s match is pivotal, with only three points separating the Triumph from tenth-place Richmond. With four of the next five Triumph matches at home, Sunday begins a stretch that will likely definite the season for the Upstate side.
Golden Boot Race: USL League One’s Golden Boot race has been heating up lately, with RIchmond’s Emilio Terzaghi now only one behind Greenville’s Marios Lomis and his 12 goals. The Triumph offense has sputtered in recent weeks, with Lomis only scoring one goal since his hat trick at New England II on July 4. Getting Lomis in the scoring column again would be a boost not only to his Golden Boot hopes, but to a Triumph offense desperately looking to kick back in to high gear.
