NPSL Playoffs!
Cleveland SC is gearing up for an intense playoff showdown as they prepare to face Michigan Rangers FC in the NPSL Great Lakes Conference Semi-Final. This marks Cleveland's fifth consecutive season in the playoffs, and they are determined to make it count. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, July 12th, at 7:00 pm EST and will take place at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Having already faced each other twice this season, the upcoming match will be the third encounter between Cleveland SC and Michigan Rangers FC. Both previous meetings, which took place within a span of five days back in May, saw Michigan emerging victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. In their most recent game, Cleveland SC played to a 1-1 draw against conference winners Steel City FC, while Michigan Rangers FC concluded the season with a 1-1 draw on the road against Erie Commodores FC.
With the playoffs underway, both teams know that past results hold little significance and are eager for a fresh start. Both clubs will be fueled by the desire to make a deep run into the NPSL Championship.
