Tormenta W-League Schedule announced

Tormenta's USL-W League schedule is out and if past seasons are any indication, there's a game you're going to want to circle on your calendar.

South Georgia is once again in the South Atlantic Division with several familiar foes including the SC United Bantams, NC Fusion, Charlotte Eagles and nemesis North Carolina Courage U-23. New this year is Port City FC out of Wilmington, NC. 

What that means is an imbalanced schedule where Tormenta will play some opponents twice while playing others only once during their 12-game regular season. 

Unlike the USL League One season that stretches from March to October and you have a chance to build momentum and develop over the course of the season, the W-League is a sprint from the get go. Tormenta will play those 12 games in basically six weeks, opening on May 14 at SC United Bantams while ending the regular season on June 27 at Port City FC. 

Tormenta opens with three straight road games before their home opener on May 27 against the Charlotte Eagles. That's the first of four home games in a row that includes Wake FC (May 31), North Carolina Fusion (June 4) and the second matchup with the Bantams (June 8)

After q rematch with Wake FC on the road on June 13, Tormenta returns home close out the home portion of their schedule with a game against the Carolina Ascent (June 17) and then what could be the game of the year in the South Atlantic Division as the NC Courage visit Tormenta Stadium on June 21.

The Courage have been to three straight USL-W League championship games, winning it all in 2024 while falling short in the title game in both 2023 and 2025. Tormenta, meanwhile, won the title in 2022 and have consistently been among the best teams in the league, going 28-9-10 in their four years, including a nine win season in 2024 where they missed the playoffs. 

Following the matchup with the Courage, Tormenta will close out their regular season on the road with Charlotte (June 24) and Port City FC (June 27). 

You can find the full W-League schedule here if you want to see all the teams. 

Like I said, it's a sprint but, honestly, it's some of the most fun I have in covering Tormenta. 

I'll continue to encourage you to attend a game and support these women if you can and if you're reading this and not in the Statesboro area, find a W-League team near you and go to a few games.

Where're your pants, son?

I've got problems with Hoot, but don't worry, I've got problems with a lot of the other League One Mascots as well. Edit: So I'm a goof and I somehow totally missed Rusty the Wolf, Chattanooga's pants-wearing mascot, when I initially posted this. This was not intentional and certainly did not happen because Chattanooga beat Tormenta last weekend and I was subconsciously still upset about it. Nope, I'm just someone who managed to overlook them and there's no one to blame but myself. I have issued my formal apology to Chattanooga fans through our Department of Fixing Screwups spokespeople and added a section about Rusty below. I'm sorry, again, Chattanooga fans. Clearly I like you all as I keep rating Scott Mackenzie high on the Manager Handsomeness rankings.  Also since first posting this, I've also learned the Texoma birds are named Tex (the red bird) and Oma (the gray bird). So we've got that going for us, which is nice.  Looking around League ...

USL League One Most Handsome Manager (2025 Edition)

Welcome back friends. When I first started this blog a little over a year ago, I wasn't sure what form it was going to take. I had some ideas of what I wanted it to be (and no real idea of the time commitment I was making for myself), but I knew I wanted it to be a fun little thing that I enjoyed and, hopefully, some others might enjoy as well. My first couple posts were, understandably, sparsely read, as I was just linking to them on Twitter maybe once or twice and then going about my day. I didn't (and still don't) have any grand ambitions for what this might be. I just wanted a place to write and hopefully be amusing and even a little informative. So a few weeks into writing this blog, I decided it would be a good time to steal an idea from baseball writer Craig Calcaterra, who for years ranked the handsomeness of Major League Baseball managers. Why not rank the USL League One Managers? It'll be a fun little thing that, if nothing else, will help me get a little more...

2026 USL League One Most Handsome Manager Rankings

Welcome back to the third annual USL League One Most Handsome Manager rankings. I can’t believe this will be the third year of such nonsense, but here we are.  If this is your first time here I’m glad you’re joining us. And I’m sorry.  Read on and you'll understand. I do this for a couple of reasons. First is because it’s kind of fun to put together each year. Second, it’s actually helpful for me to do a little research on all the managers. I mean, how else would we have found out last year that Knoxville’s Ian Fuller’s Honeyfund site was still active and you could leave a comment in the guest book. I mean, there’s no reason we should know that, but sometimes you come across something and just have to share it. (I did not leave a comment.) With this being the third year, we have a few interesting wrinkles on the list. First, we say goodbye to a few managers from last year. Dominic Casciato (Omaha), Rick Wright (Greenville), Adrian Forbes (Texoma), Dave Carton (Westchester...
