Players to Watch
North Carolina FC – #19 Jay Tee Kamara
Named USL League One’s Player of the Week following his last performance, Jay Tee Kamara has been a staple in the North Carolina FC lineup. The 19-year-old has notched two goals and three assists on the season and made himself an integral part of NCFC’s victory over the Kickers. In Friday’s match, Kamara will look to add to his tally of goals and assists, challenging Tormenta’s defense with his quick style of play, passing precision and field vision.
Tormenta FC – #11 Rodney Michael
In what will be a battle of young stars on Friday night, Tormenta’s Rodney Michael stands above the rest on the opponent’s side. Called up to Tormenta FC’s roster in early June, the Freetown, Sierra Leone native has already opened his scoring account with his new squad, scoring a goal in Tormenta’s last contest against Toronto FC II. Michael will look to control the attacking third for the Ibises, creating scoring chances and perhaps marking the scoresheet himself in Friday’s match.
Up Next: North Carolina FC will continue their stint on the road to take on the Greenville Triumph for the third time this season on Saturday, July 10 at 7 p.m. ET at Legacy Early College in Greenville, SC.
