Las Vegas, NV – Las Vegas Lights FC (8-7-8, 32 points) currently holds the longest active unbeaten streak in USL Championship this season. The team hits the road this week for its second match of the month, as the Club’s undefeated stretch extended into August last weekend.

From June 1-29, the Lights packed in a busy stretch that included six home matches – five of which were held at Cashman Field. The Club went unbeaten (2-0-4) and secured 10 points. The Lights then went 3-0-1 in four road contests in July and began August unbeaten still with a 1-1 draw at Cashman Field against Detroit City (August 10).
