Charleston Battery schedule set - Season kicks off with three matches versus Major League Soccer
Charleston, SC. The Charleston Battery’s 2010 USL2 schedule has been set with the Battery playing a 20 game regular season April 17 through August 14. Charleston’s home opener is versus the Pittsburgh Riverhounds on Saturday, April 24 and marks the return to Blackbaud Stadium of former Battery midfielder Justin Evans who recently took over as head coach of Pittsburgh.
The top three teams advance to the postseason with the regular season champion playing host to the league championship. The second and third seeds will meet the weekend of August 21 to determine the other finalist for the championship game the following weekend (August 28).
In addition to the Carolina Challenge Cup and the USL2 regular season the Battery will also enter the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup; in 2008 the Battery advanced to the final of the knock-out competition losing 2-1 to DC United.
All Charleston Battery away matches will be broadcast live locally with a web simulcast via the Kirkman Broadcasting Network.
