Club Notes
Cleveland SC (5-0-3), under Head Coach Joe Jovanovski, aims for back-to-back home wins. The comeback victory over Erie boosted morale, but it took 45 minutes to find that spark. Coach Jovanovski hopes the team will start strong and dictate the match from the beginning. Ryan Poling made crucial saves, including a penalty save in the second half, while Stanislav Koval scored twice, including the match-winner from a beautiful ball by Jaden Wright. Cleveland will need to replicate this performance, with the home crowd providing the necessary boost.
