Carlos Coronel starts in goal for New York, with Andrés Reyes, Sean Nealis, John Tolkin, Dylan Nealis and Kyle Duncan across the back line.
Daniel Edelman returns to the starting lineup, with Frankie Amaya and Luquinhas.

Head Coach Troy Lesesne will have Serge Ngoma, Jorge Cabezas Hurtado, Omir Fernandez, Wiki Carmona, Dru Yearwood, Peter Stroud, Cameron Harper, Matt Nocita and Ryan Meara available off the bench.
