(3) Reno will play in its first playoff match on Saturday when it hosts (6) OKC Energy FC in the West- ern Conference quarterfinals. Kickoff is slated for 5:25 p.m. at Greater Nevada Field. Reno’s run to the USL Cup Playoffs has been one of incredible resiliency. After the first month of play, Reno was at the bottom of the Western Conference table and had zero wins. But after the group of players from all different walks of life finally clicked, the team became the most potent attack in both the USL and all of U.S. Soccer during the regular season. Led by 2017 Golden Boot-winner Dane Kelly (18 goals this year), Reno scored 75 goals during the regular season jumping from last to a Top 4 spot. Finds like 2017 USL Assist Champion Chris Wehan (eight goals, 12 assists) and MLS veteran Antoine Hoppenot (12 goals, six assists) helped bolster a Reno attack that put up some of the highest scoring games this season.
