FC Naples Battles to Road Draw, Prepares for High-Stakes Home Match

Naples, FL – [June 10th, 2025] – FC Naples earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Greenville Triumph SC on Saturday in a tightly contested USL League One matchup at Historic Riggs Field. With forward #9 Karsen Henderlong striking early in the 13th minute and a resolute defensive performance in the second half, FC Naples walked away with a valuable point on the road, extending their run and setting the stage for a critical third encounter with the Chattanooga Red Wolves this coming weekend.

Henderlong’s goal, assisted by #23 Andrés Ferrín, marked his sixth of the season and once again showcased FC Naples’ attacking prowess. Despite conceding the equalizer in the 37th minute, FC Naples showed determination, weathering 18 shots from Greenville and holding firm against mounting pressure. Goalkeeper #1 Edward ‘Lalo’ Delgado remained composed, and the defensive backline, anchored by #2 Brecc Evans and #25 Jake Dengler, was instrumental in containing Greenville’s offense.
