June 4, 2024 – United Soccer League Championship (USL)
San Antonio FC News Release
At a glance…
Back in Copa Tejas: SAFC hosts a Copa Tejas opponent for the first time this season after going 2-0-2 against Copa Tejas foes (El Paso and Rio Grande Valley) last season. San Antonio and El Paso will compete head-to-head for the Copa Tejas trophy this season after RGV ceased operations in the offseason. The last two seasons, SAFC has swept both the Copa Tejas trophy for head-to-head record against El Paso and RGV, as well as the shield, which is awarded to the USL Championship, MLS, NWSL or USL League One side with the highest point-per-game total.
Welcome to the 210: SAFC brought in some more firepower this week with the acquistion of forward Jake LaCava from Charleston Battery via transfer. LaCava, a 2022 USL Championship Young Player of the Year Finalist, comes to the Alamo City after posting 26 goals and 18 assists in 115 USL Championship matches. The 23-year-old previously played with the Tampa Bay Rowdies and New York Red Bulls II.
Fire Away: A third of the way into the season, SAFC sits at the top of the league in multiple offensive categories. San Antonio currently has the second-most goals in the Western Conference with 17 and is tied for the third-highest conversion rate across USL Championship at 18%.
