Battery Drop to USL-2

Battery Elects to Shift to USL Second Division Charleston Post and Courier

Team president Andrew Bell said the move will create more regional rivalries and reduces travel expenses for the club.

"We believe that the level of competition in the USL Second Division will be very similar to that of the USL First Division (USL-1)," Bell said. "Playing in this division will also substantially reduce our travel costs as we won't be flying all over the country."
