Statistical Snapshot Broadcast Information Eagle Field (1,800) | May 11th, 2017 | 7:00 PM ET ​ ​ charlotteindependence.com #CLTvNY Charlotte Independence (1-2-2) vs. New York Red Bulls II (3-2-2) ​ ​ ​ Charlotte (N.C.) — The Charlotte Independence (1-2-2) look to take on the New York Red Bulls II (3-2-2) this Thursday at Eagle Field on the campus of Winthrop University at 7:00 PM ET. After a tough loss to the Rochester Rhinos and an idle week, the Independence seek their second win early in the season. The Independence last played on Saturday, April 29th in Rochester and left reeling after a 4-0 loss. Having not lost any game by multiple goals in 2016, the team is ready to getting the last game off their minds. "We want to get back out on the field and compete," said Independence Head Coach Mike Jeffries. "The guys probably wanted [to play] a game the next day, just to get it out of their system a little bit." Jeffries' squad will look to 2016 United Soccer League MVP finalist, Enzo Martinez and the Independence offense to jumpstart an attack that is averaging less than one goal per game. Martinez is the only player with multiple goals this season and Jeffries has put emphasis on scoring during the idle week. "That's been the focus for the last ten days," said Jeffries. "Some of the thing's we've tried to focus on are being a little more dynamic in the final third. In the end, it comes down to guys making plays." The Independence will next take on the a Red Bulls II side that is coming off a 3-1 home victory over Harrisburg City Islander last Saturday. The Red Bulls are on a three game unbeaten streak and are the 2016 USL defending champions. "For us, the beginning part of this stretch was just about being competitive and going back to the things that have been successful for us," said Jeffries. "Having the extra time to work on somethings that didn't go well for us is a plus." The Thursday, May 11th game vs New York Red Bulls II will be broadcast over the USL's Match Center via YouTube.

In two season, he has led Charlotte to a USL playoff game, a 5th place regular season finish, and a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup victory over the MLS side New England Revolution. Jeffries’ squad missed the playoffs in the inaugural season by just one point. Before making the move to the USL, Jeffries spent two seasons with the Des Moines Menace of the Premier Development League, where he had a combined regular-season record of 18-7-3. He was named the 2014 PDL Coach of the Year after guiding the Menace to the league’s regular-season championship. The Menace collected its first postseason win in five years and built an 11-match unbeaten streak before falling in the PDL quarterfinals to eventual champion the Michigan Bucks. Jeffries also led the Menace to a combined 3-2 record in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Jeffries, 54, is a former member of the U.S. Men’s National Team and NCAA player of the year. Jeffries has ties to the game at the international and collegiate levels. His first MLS gig was as an assistant to Bob Bradley during the Chicago Fire’s first three seasons. The inaugural Fire team won the 1998 MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup titles, repeating as Open Cup champion in 2000. Jeffries then served as head coach for the Dallas Burn (now FC Dallas) from 2001-03, reaching the MLS Playoffs in each of his first two seasons. He was nominated for MLS Coach of the Year in 2002. Jeffries spent the next four years coaching at the collegiate level, before returning to the Fire as an assistant coach from 2008-10, and as Director of Player Personnel from October 2010 through September 2011. He also served as a scout for the USMNT in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, assisting Bradley and his staff in South Africa. The Bethesda, Md., native is a graduate of Duke University, where he earned the 1983 Hermann Trophy as a senior. Jeffries’ junior season ended in an epic national title match, an eight-overtime 2-1 loss to Indiana. Between 1984-85, he earned three caps as a member of the USMNT. From 1984-88, Jeffries played professionally in the top U.S. indoor and outdoor leagues. In the final season of the original North American Soccer League he scored two goals in 10 matches for the 1984 Minnesota Strikers. Jeffries, the first pick of the 1983 Major Indoor Soccer League Draft, played for the reincarnated Minnesota Strikers from 1984-87 and for the Dallas Sidekicks in 1988 before a torn ACL ended his playing career. The first stop in Jeffries’ coaching career was with the New Orleans Riverboat Gamblers, a member of the former USL A-League. He served as an assistant coach from 1993-94 and as head coach from 1995-98.
