Clay Holstad (41 minutes) and Jerome Williams (44 minutes) scored just three minutes apart late in the first half, propelling Rhode Island FC to an eventual 3-0 win over WSC Saturday night in Pawtucket, RI in Prinx Tires USL Cup play. Leo Afonso capped the clean sheet for Rhode Island in the 75th minute, and Koke Vegas posted the shutout for Rhode Island, who beat WSC for the second time in two seasons in USL Cup play.
The loss stretches WSC’s winless streak on the road to 14 consecutive games, with their last road win at Forward Madison, 2-1, last June 10. Since then they have gone 0-12-3 on the road, and also increases their scoreless streak on the road this season to five (six if you include their 0-0 regulation time game in US Open Cup play at Vermont, which WSC won in penalties), They have now been outscored on the road 14-2 in the young season.
They are next in play Wednesday beginning a three match, nine day home stretch, WSC’s most condensed of the season. In USL League One home play thus far, WSC enters the match with a three match unbeaten streak and a 2-1-1 mark with the only loss being a tight 3-2 loss to defending champion One Knoxville on opening night, March 7.
