(CBS DETROIT) – Detroit City FC will host Cleveland Force SC on Saturday afternoon in a 4:00 PM kickoff, while Le Rouge looks to improve to 4-0-0 and take first place in the USL W League’s Great Lakes Division. The game will be streamed for free on CBSDetroit.com.
Le Rouge come into Saturday’s match on the back of an emphatic and dominant 5-0 win over Michiana Lions last season. Detroit City FC started the scoring early and continued it late, leading 3-0 at halftime before a brace from Lily Jeakle in the final 30 minutes of the match sealed Michiana’s fate.
Cleveland Force SC finds itself in 6th place of the Great Lakes Division, with a record of 0-0-3 in the early stages of the season, trailing 3-1 against AFC Ann Arbor and 4-1 against both Flint City AFC as Kalamazoo. FC. This is their second season in the USL W League after struggling last season, winning just once against Midwest United FC.
This will be the fourth meeting between Detroit City FC and Cleveland Force, after the two sides met three times last season, with Le Rouge taking nine of the nine points. Head coach David Dwaihy took his first win as head coach away to Cleveland Force last season thanks to a thunderous strike from Avery Peters.
Le Rouge’s 3-0-0 start to the season is the club’s best since fielding its first women’s outdoor team dating back to 2020. Detroit City FC was ranked #2 in the national USL W League Power Rankings last week and is one of only 12 teams in the entire W League (80 clubs) not to drop any points this season.
