HARRISBURG, Pa. — Red Bull II is in the United Soccer League playoffs.

NYRB II won its second consecutive match, a 3-1 result at Penn FC at FNB Field Tuesday night.

Coupled with North Carolina FC’s 2-1 loss at Louisville City FC, Red Bull II (12-8-13, 49 points) clinched its fourth successive trip to the playoffs.

Jared Stroud, Brian White and Jose Aguinaga scored goals for the visitors, who were forced to overcome a one-goal deficit.

Penn FC (9-15-9, 36) opened the scoring in the 24th minute finishing off a counterattack as a shot by Miguel Jaime slipped by the foot of goalkeeper Evan Louro.

NYRB II responded eight minutes later off set piece to knot things up. Stroud ran near post off a Chris Lema corner, flicking a header past goalkeeper Sean Lewis for his sixth goal of the season.

In the 66th minute, White put NYRB II ahead, scoring his 10th USL goal this season, pouncing on a rebound muffed by Lewis.

Aguinaga capped off the match in the 88th minute, connecting for his sixth goal this season.
