Ricardo Diegues leads the team with six goals, while a bevy of Tropics SC players have two on the season including Melvin Boetang, Xavier Silva, Corey Mills, Victor Parreiras and Keisuke Ohata. Hugo Silva has three clean sheets, and shared a fourth with backup goalkeep Jorge Navarette.

Sporting Orlando, who the Tropics SC defeated 3-0 earlier this week, is currently atop the table with a mark of 4-2-1 (13 points). The Tropics at 4-0-0 have 12 points in three less games.

This is the fourth of a five-game homestand, which will conclude with the team's only home Saturday night game on May 4 when the Tropics SC will host Greater Orlando Sports Academy.  And Lake Myrtle will host Polk's first-ever Lamar Hunt U.S. Open game three nights later, May 7, when their sister franchise, the Lakeland Tropics of USL League Two, will host The Villages SC, with the winner moving on to meet the Tampa Bay Rowdies on May 14.
