San Antonio FC enjoying best start in club history, sitting atop USL Championship at season’s halfway point
Charleston Battery plays San Antonio FC during a USL Championship soccer match on Saturday, July 2, 2022, at Toyota Field in San Antonio. Looking around the San Antonio FC locker room for the final time, goalkeeper Matt Cardone had never felt more confident in his team’s commitment to an identity.
San Antonio is on pace for the most successful regular season in club history, ahead of the 2017 group that finished 17-4-11 for 62 points. No SAFC team has posted a better start through 17 matches, as this year’s club eclipsed the 10-1-6 mark for 36 points to open 2017. Marcina’s philosophy centers on applying pressure, skipping slow builds for a vertical passing threat. San Antonio is last in the league in passing accuracy at 68 percent and has completed the fewest total passes in the USL at 4,801 — more than 1,000 behind the next-lowest total.
Most of the other injuries are not expected to be as severe. Dhillon said he is excited to see usual starters forward Elliot Collier and defender Carter Manley return during the second half. “We’re very optimistic, very excited,” Marcina said. “We know we’re going to get better. We’re hungry as a team. The mentality of these guys, we preached it from the preseason, and it’s something we’ve preached over three years. It’s been fantastic.”
