Reading United fans may have noticed the absence of Brian Ownby in the team's 5-1 victory of the
Central Jersey Spartans. Ownby, along with Reading and University of Virginia teammate Will Bates,
is currently on a 10-day trial with Swedish team Mjällby. Mjällby plays in Sweden's first
division, the Allsvenskan, and currently sits in thirteenth place in the standings.
The past several weeks have seen Reading eliminated by fellow Union-affiliate club Harrisburg
City Islanders from US Open Cup as well as lose their first Mid-Atlantic conference game to the
Long Island Rough Riders. After dropping two straight matches, Reading regained momentum and
rattled off three straights wins to reclaim the top spot in the division.
