The United Soccer League, keeping in line with other school and professional sports has announced that its season will also be delayed to an unknown date.At the local level, that means the Lionsbridge FC squad, based on the Virginia Peninsula, will have to wait a while longer to begin their 2020 season.
In a statement, the USL sai, "in close collaboration with the USL League Two Executive Committee, the start of the 2020 League Two season will be delayed in order to align with recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on restricting public gatherings of 50 or more people through Sunday, May 10.
In Virginia, that number for public gatherings has been lowered to 10. The Lionsbridge team plays in the South Atlantic Division of the Southern Conference, and are now scheduled to open the season on May 9 in an away match against the Wake FC.
Lionsbridge, who plays its home game at CNU's TowneBank Stadium, finished the 2019 season just outside of playoff contention with a fifth-place standing and a record of 5-6-3. Since their inception in 2017, the team has built a solid fanbase and helped revive the local soccer scene.
