LOUSIVILLE CITY NEEDS WIN TO SET SINGLE-SEASON POINTS-PER-GAME RECORD

Louisville City FC moved to 70 points this regular season following its 0-0 draw against Orange County SC on Saturday night, marking the third season in which it has reached that mark in the past four seasons. The club is now one win away from setting a single-season record for points-per-game in a regular season, a mark currently held by Orlando City SC’s squad in the 2012 season in which it averaged 2.38ppg with 57 points in 24 regular season games.

Louisville City currently sits on an average of 2.41ppg entering its final game of the regular season at home to Hartford Athletic on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET | CBS Sports Golazo Network). To remain ahead of Orlando City, however, LouCity needs to win its final game as a draw would see the side’s average drop to 2.37ppg.

THREE PLAYERS ENTER FINAL WEEK WITHIN REACH OF IRONMAN STATUS

Three players enter the final week of the 2025 USL Championship Regular Season with the potential to play every minute of the campaign, with Las Vegas Lights FC’s Elias Gärtig, Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC’s Sean Suber and Sacramento Republic FC’s Danny Vitiello all having gone the full 90 minutes in every game so far this season.

Gärtig would become the first player to record every minute in a regular season in Lights history, with the Danish center back currently in his first full season with the club after arriving in Las Vegas in August, 2024. The 23-year-old has logged 2,610 minutes in 29 appearances entering the club’s final game against Monterey Bay FC.

Suber would become the second player in the USL Championship era to play every minute of a regular season for the Hounds following defender Andrew Marshall, who recorded 2,340 minutes across 26 appearances in the 2013 season. Suber has logged 2,610 minutes in 29 appearances entering the club’s final game against Phoenix Rising FC.

Vitiello would become the third player in Republic FC to record every minute of a regular season following defender James Kiffe, who logged every minute in 32 appearances in the 2017 season, and goalkeeper Josh Cohen, who logged every minute in 34 appearances in the 2018 season. Vitiello would need to start and play the full 90 minutes in both of Republic FC’s games in Week 34 against the Charleston Battery (Wednesday) and Miami FC (Saturday) to achieve the landmark, having logged 2,520 minutes in 28 appearances so far this season.

Quick Hits

- Tampa Bay Rowdies defender Aarón Guillén became the 17th player to record 20,000 regular season minutes in the USL Championship’s regular season this past Saturday against Hartford Athletic. Guillén could become only the fourth player to record 15,000 regular season minutes for a single club in the league’s history in the Rowdies’ regular season finale, sitting on 14,943 minutes for Tampa Bay entering the game.

- Louisville City FC defender Sean Totsch could become the first player to record 300 regular season appearances in the USL Championship on Saturday night against Hartford Athletic. The veteran center back became the league’s all-time leader in regular season appearances in late September with his 296th appearance.

- Sacramento Republic FC midfielder Rodrigo López recorded his 35th regular season assist for the club in its 2-2 draw against Lexington SC on Friday night. He is one of four players to have recorded at least 35 assists for one club in the USL Championship’s regular season, joining Kenardo Forbes (52, Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC), Solomon Asanté (41, Phoenix Rising FC) and Danny Barrera (35, Hartford Athletic).

- Charleston Battery forward MD Myers extended his scoring streak to five games with his goal in the club’s 1-1 draw against Detroit City FC on Saturday night. The streak is Myers’ longest in the USL-C regular season for the Battery, surpassing a four-game streak between April 9-27, 2024.

- San Antonio FC has been held scoreless in five consecutive games following its 1-0 defeat to Phoenix Rising FC on Saturday night, the longest such streak in club history. SAFC is currently scoreless in 474 minutes of play with its most recent goal having come on Saturday, Sept. 20 against Orange County SC.

Discipline Report – Week 34

TAMPA, Fla. – The following is the USL Championship’s discipline report for Week 34 of the 2025 USL Championship season:

Miami FC’s Nicolas Campisi has been suspended for one game following his red card for denial of a goalscoring opportunity against Birmingham Legion FC on October 19. Campisi will be unavailable for selection in Miami’s contest against Sacramento Republic FC on Saturday night.

Sacramento Republic FC assistant coach Martin Vasquez has been suspended for one game following his red card for deliberately throwing an object onto the field in the club’s contest against Lexington SC on October 17. Vasquez will serve his suspension during Sacramento’s contest against the Charleston Battery on Wednesday night.

The following players enter the upcoming matches one caution away from their eighth yellow card of the season. Per league rules, caution accumulation suspensions do not roll into the USL Championship Playoffs, and as a result players would solely receive a fine should they be awarded a yellow card in the final game of the regular season.  

Here is the breakdown per club:

• Charleston Battery (1): Houssou Landry

• Hartford Athletic (1): Antony Siaha

• El Paso Locomotive FC (1): Arturo Ortiz

• San Antonio FC (1): Mitchell Taintor
