Expanded Atlantic Division has openers in Baltimore, Northern Virginia on November 15
TAMPA, FLorida -- A newly expanded Atlantic Division -- featuring new markets this year in Wilmington, Delaware and Hagerstown, Maryland -- will kick off with two long-time members of MASL 3.
The Baltimore Kings and Northern Virginia will get the honor of kicking off action in the fifth year of MASL 3, as the Kings will host the Virginia Marauders on Saturday, Nov. 15. On that same day, NOVA FC will look to get back to their championship ways when they host the Maryland Storm.
NOVA won the league championship each of league's first three seasons, but the RGV Barracudas out of Brownsville, Texas, won last year's crown. The Storm are out of Westminster, Maryland, previous home of the DMV Gunners.
Other home openers include the Marauders on Nov. 22 when they host Delaware City, who will have their first home game on Nov. 29 against the Storm. Cumberland Valley will get its first chance to entertain fans in Hagerstown on Dec. 6 when Baltimore comes to town. The Maryland Storm will be the last to have a home opener with their date against Delaware City on December 13.
True to the MASL's family friendly efforts, every single Atlantic Divsion game will be played on a Saturday, or Sunday. Each team will play a 10-game regular season, with playoffs to end the year.
