It has been a season of firsts for Spokane Velocity FC as the first-year team finds itself as one of two teams remaining in the USL League One playoffs.
Vito Higgins had just watched Spokane Velocity FC lose to Central Valley Fuego FC after a stoppage time goal sent the match to penalties, which ultimately went Fuego FC’s way.
It was fitting that a slight breeze was felt humming through the downtown Spokane core on Sunday afternoon as previously announced USL Spokane was officially introduced as Spokane Zephyr FC.
Last season all three programs – Whitworth, Community Colleges of Spokane and North Idaho College – featured new head coaches, riding the recruiting from previous regimes.
