Just three days after making his Louisville City FC debut, goalkeeper Ryan Schewe is set to start a game for the club for the first time, as LouCity visits San Antonio FC in the Prinx Tires USL Cup semifinal.
Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET at Toyota Field in San Antonio.
The game will air in Louisville on WBKI/The CW and ESPN Louisville’s 680 AM and 105.7 FM. For streaming, log on to ESPN+ or WDRB+WAVE.
Schewe played 21 minutes on Saturday in a 1-1 tie at Rhode Island FC, coming on as a substitute to replace Danny Faundez, who suffered an apparent injury. The 24-year-old made one save in that time, helping LouCity preserve a point on the road.
Schewe joined LouCity on loan from Sporting Kansas City less than a week ago, training with the team for the first time last Wednesday.
He is one of seven changes LouCity interim head coach Simon Bird has made to the team after Saturday’s draw.
Of the changes, three come on the backline. Jake Morris will start at left wingback, while Manny Perez starts on the right. In the middle, Amadou Dia comes in to replace Kyle Adams. Dia will captain the side as Adams misses the game for rest.
Brandon Dayes and Aiden McFadden join Dia as the back three.
Taylor Davila returns in the midfield, supplanting his younger brother, Evan, in the starting lineup. He will start alongside Kevon Lambert, who made his first appearance in a month at Rhode Island.
Bird has elected for a new front three Tuesday, with Chris Donovan leading the line. Ray Serrano and Mukwelle Akale will occupy the wings in the attack.
Fresh off a USL Championship Team of the Week selection, Sean Totsch will begin Tuesday’s game on the bench. The 34-year-old scored LouCity’s lone goal Saturday, a penalty kick. In his LouCity career, Totsch is 20 for 22 from the spot in his career, including penalty kick shootouts — notable, considering Tuesday’s game could include a shootout if it ends tied.
Tola Showunmi, Quenzi Huerman, Sam Gleadle, Jansen Wilson and Evan Davila join Totsch as Saturday starters that are available from the bench for this one. Cameron Duke and the teenager Cooper Conley, on a USL Academy contract, are also available.
