FC SONIC ANNOUNCES 2011 SEASON SCHEDULE

FC Sonic Lehigh Valley, the area’s minor league soccer club playing in the National Premier Soccer League, released its season schedule for 2011. The season opens with a bang, with a rematch against last year’s NPSL playoff opponent, New York Red Bulls, on May 16 at 7:00 p.m. at Lehigh University’s Ulrich Sports Complex, the home pitch for FC Sonic. 

The NPSL season includes home and away matches against a local rival, Pocono Snow, as well as Keystone Division sides from Buffalo, Erie and New Jersey, and two new franchises,  Buxmont Torch and Atlantic City Crusaders. The regular season schedule ends with a home match against another local foe, FC Reading Revolution, on July 16. The winner of the Keystone Division will head to the playoffs for a date against the NPSL Northeast Atlantic Division, with the winner advancing to the NPSL semifinals, where, last season, FC Sonic finished third.
