Southeast Conference

The Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves are on top and travel on Nashville for a game against NFC- who beat Knoxville Force in their team debut, 3-1. Nashville FC put together this behind-the-scenes look at Game One


Stephen Lunney talked to OSG Sports after the inaugural game: "It was an honor to be involved in the club's first ever game. The coaches had been asking us- 'Are we a team or just a group of individuals?'- constantly since my first tryout in March. I think we proved that we are the former by battling back after going a goal down early on. As for Knoxville, they had a lot of talented players but it seemed that they needed a bit more time to gel. 4-1 was a great result but I expect the return fixture to be a lot closer."

The Georgia Revs visit there Friday night after their 2-0 loss to Chattanooga FC. The Chattanooligans host the New Orleans Jesters and Rocket City gets Knoxville Friday after their 2-1 win over Pensacola FC. PFC has home games this weekend with Knoxville and Chattanooga.
