GAME NOTES FINALLY BACK HOME Wednesday's game against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 is the Swope Park Rangers' first home game since their season opener against Portland Timbers 2 on March 26. Since earning a 2­1 win over T2, SPR has played three road games and endured one bye week, leading to a 2­ 1­1 record and seven points so far in the 2016 USL season. Whitecaps FC 2 are 2­0­1 on the road so far in 2016, including wins in their opening two away games of the season. Last year, Vancouver went 3­10­1 on their travels, clinching just 10 of their 30 points away from home.

The Rangers were hit with injuries to Pasher and forward Dane Kelly heading into that game against SAFC, with the latter described as "day­to­day" last week by head coach Marc Dos Santos.

GAME NOTES CONT. USL EXPANSION SEASON The 2016 campaign is the Swope Park Rangers' USL expansion season, and the side has currently claimed the second most points of the six expansion teams that entered in 2016 with seven, only FC Cincinnati have more (8). For the eight MLS­owned USL teams that entered the league prior to the Rangers, only three qualified for the postseason in their initial attempt.

FC Montreal, Portland Timbers 2, Real Monarchs, Toronto FC II and Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 did not qualify for the USL Playoffs in their inaugural season in 2015.

In their expansion season in 2015, Whitecaps FC 2 posted a 8­14­6 record and did not qualify for the postseason.

CANADIAN CONNECTION There is a distinct Canadian influence on this Swope Park Rangers team, with six players and staff connected to our neighbors up north.

On the playing side, Amer Didic (Edmonton, Alberta), Mark Anthony Gonzalez (Bolton, Ontario), Johnny Grant (Toronto, Ontario) and Tyler Pasher (Elmira, Ontario) all hail from Canada, while head coach Marc Dos Santos was born in Montreal and began his coaching career with the Impact in 2007. In addition, goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty spent the 2015 season in the USL coaching with Toronto FC II. USL EXPERIENCE Of the 23 players on the Swope Park Rangers' current roster, nine have previously played in the USL. Most notably, Dane Kelly is the USL's all­ time leading scorer with 43 goals since joining the league in 2011.

Christian Duke spent the last two seasons with OKC Energy FC, helping the side to a playoff berth in 2015 with the aid of Jacob VanCompernolle. Tommy Meyer was minutes from claiming the 2015 USL Championship as his LA Galaxy II side fell to the Rochester Rhinos in extra time. Kris Tyrpak spent the 2015 season with the Austin Aztex, scoring nine goals for his hometown club. Jon Kempin (Orlando City SC, OKC Energy FC) spent time on loan at Sporting KC's former affiliates. Johnny Grant (FC Montreal), Zac Lubin (Tulsa Roughnecks FC) and Tyler Pasher (Pittsburgh Riverhounds) also have USL experience.

STRAIGHT OUTTA MLS While there is a significant amount of USL know­how in the squad, two players also boast MLS experience in Tommy Meyer and Kris Tyrpak.

Meyer was drafted in the first round of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft by the LA Galaxy and went on to make 57 appearances in all competitions for the club, winning MLS Cup in 2012 and 2014 along the way. Tyrpak was drafted by Chivas USA in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft, tallying one goal against the Colorado Rapids and one assist against FC Dallas before the club folded at the end of that season. Two further players

were also signed by MLS teams but did not make an appearance, with Oumar Ballo drafted by the Houston Dynamo in 2015 and Christian Duke spending the 2013 and 2014 seasons with Sporting KC. INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR There are nine members of the Swope Park Rangers that were born outside of the U.S. and Canada. Oumar Ballo (Mali), Amer Didic (Bosnia & Herzegovina), Tomas Granitto (El Salvador), Dane Kelly (Jamaica), Kevin Oliveira (Cape Verde), Jordi Quintilla (Spain), Daniel Salloi (Hungary), Nansel Selbol (Nigeria) and Ualefi (Brazil) were all born outside of North America and through different channels found their way to the Rangers. Each USL team is permitted seven Foreign Players on their roster, though the Rangers only occupy five with Oumar Ballo, Amer Didic and Tomas Granitto qualifying as domestic players.

POTENT STRIKEFORCE On Dec. 16, 2015 the Swope Park Rangers announced the signings of Dane Kelly and Kris Tyrpak, who combined for 20 goals in the USL regular season in 2015. Kelly is the USL's all­time leading scorer with 43 goals, 42 with the Charelston Battery, while Kris Tyrpak has scored goals in MLS, NASL, USL and USL PDL. In all competitions last season, Kelly (12) and Tyrpak (11) had 23 goals between them.

Last season, Vancouver was led by Marco Bustos and Caleb Clarke, who each had seven goals apiece.

ACADEMY TIES On March 10, the Swope Park Rangers announced the signings of Ezra Armstrong, Will Little and Steven Tekesky to Academy contracts ahead of the 2016 USL season. All three players joined the Rangers directly from the Sporting KC Academy after spending a large portion of preseason with the team. Armstrong and Little both relocated to Kansas City within the last few years from Tennessee to join the Sporting KC Academy, while Tekesky is a Raymore, Mo. native.

Armstrong comes from a family with pedigree, with his father, Desmond Armstrong, a National Hall of Famer.

FIRST TEAM HELP Last month, the Swope Park Rangers announced that the club had added Sporting Kansas City's Jon Kempin, Jimmy Medranda and Daniel Salloi on loan. All three players contributed immediately in the season opener against Timbers 2, with Kempin and Medranda starting before Salloi appeared off the bench to notch the game­ winning goal late in the contest. Medranda was recalled to Sporting KC on March 31 and remains with the team. Most recently, Jordi Quintilla was loaned to the Rangers ahead of their game against Whitecaps FC 2 on April 27.

GAME NOTES CONT. CAPTAIN DUKE On Wednesday, March 23, the Swope Park Rangers' first­ever signing Christian Duke was named captain of the club ahead of the season opener. Duke is an Overland Park, Kan. native that came through Sporting KC's Academy before enjoying a four­year college career at the University of San Diego. He was selected by Sporting KC in the 2013 Supplemental Draft but did not make an appearance, instead spending time on loan at OKC Energy FC before joining the club permanently in 2015.

LOCAL PRESENCE IN THE SQUAD While there are three players on the Swope Park Rangers roster who are directly from the Kansas City area, five more have connections to the city. Christian Duke (Overland Park, Kan.), Jon Kempin (Leawood, Kan.) and Steven Tekesky (Raymore, Mo.) were all raised in the

region, while Ezra Armstrong, Will Little, Daniel Salloi and Nansel Selbol all entered the club through the Sporting KC Academy despite not being natives of the area. In addition, center back Tommy Meyer is from St. Louis, Mo. and returns to his home state after spending eight years away.

CONNECTED TO SWOPE PARK The team name, "Swope Park Rangers", is a moniker that stems from the days of the old MLS Reserve League. Sporting Kansas City's reserve side would play games at Swope Soccer Village at Swope Park, and fans who followed the side coined the name Swope Park Rangers in reference to the team. The name was never used through official club channels until October 22, 2015, when Sporting Club introduced the Swope Park Rangers as the club's new USL side. The club will play the majority of it's home games at Children's Mercy Victory Field at Swope Soccer Village.
