POCONO SNOW OPENS UP REGULAR SEASON THIS WEEKEND
Club to trek to Erie and Buffalo for away matches
The Pocono Snow Soccer Club will be making history this weekend – playing their first two matches in team history. This Saturday, May 23rd, the team will face off against the Erie Admirals in a 6:30 pm match. On Sunday the 24th, the club will venture to Buffalo, NY for a 3pm kickoff vs. Buffalo City FC.
In Saturday’s match, both the Snow and the Erie Admirals will be playing in their first ever NationalPremier Soccer League game. The contest will be played at the Family First Sports Park in Erie. The Admirals roster is full of western Pennsylvania university players local to that area – many whom play for collegiate powerhouses Mercyhurst, Gannon, and East Stroudsburg University’s Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference foe, Slippery Rock University.
On Sunday, the Snow will go to Buffalo to take on Buffalo City FC, a recent 3-0 winner over FC Revolution (of Reading, PA), in Keystone Conference play. The match will be played at the Nichols School Stadium in Buffalo, and will be Buffalo City FC’s home opener. Buffalo’s roster includes Alex Marello, a midfielder from the University of Buffalo, who has represented Canada at the U-20 and U-17 levels.
The Snow will begin their home season next weekend, when the club will host Charm City FC on Friday, May 29th at 7pm. On Sunday, May 31st, the Pennsylvania Stoners will come to town for another 7pm kickoff.
Both matches will be played at Eiler-Martin Stadium, on the campus of East Stroudsburg University.
