🔴⚫ Round Lake Evolution FC – 2025 Fall Season Recap

A Statement Season. A New Standard.

The 2025 Fall season was more than just another chapter for Round Lake Evolution FC—it was the moment the club proved, without question, that it belongs at the top of the UPSL Midwest Central.

From a reshaped roster, to consistent performances, to a playoff run that pushed the group to its limits, Evo showed the league—and the Round Lake community—that the project is real, growing, and here to stay.

🔥 A Season of Identity

If the club had to summarize the entire campaign in one sentence:

“We are proving that we are a top of the league team.”

Despite losing college-bound players and carrying a slimmer roster than most teams, the group found stability, rhythm, and belief.

Consistency—once a challenge in earlier seasons—became the defining trait of this one.

“We are consistent with our results and our talent now. There’s no surprises.”

The identity is clear: disciplined, reliable, dangerous, and united.

⚽ Regular Season Highlights

Round Lake Evolution FC finished the regular season with a 6–3–1 record—one of the best in the Midwest Central.

⭐ Biggest Win

A historic 12–0 victory over ISAA Villarreal Academy, showcasing the team’s attacking firepower and defensive control.

⭐ Most Important Lesson

The 2–2 draw vs Berber City became a turning point:

“We had to lock in and play our game regardless of the standings.”

That mentality became the backbone of the season.

🏆 Playoff Run

Evo qualified for the playoffs with the best defensive record in the entire conference and one of the most potent attacks in the country.

Semifinal vs Chicago Nation FC

Opponent: Chicago Nation FC
Result: 0–3 loss

Evo fought to the final whistle but couldn’t capitalize on key moments. The team agreed:

“We fought until the end.”
“We needed to lock in and play our game.”

And emotionally:

“Nobody wants to lose to Nation. It hurt.”

Defeat fuels hunger. And hunger fuels evolution.

🏡 Matchday 9: Focused at Home

Round Lake Evolution FC vs Urbana City FC

Saturday, October 18 • 6:30 PM • Round Lake High School Stadium

As the Fall 2025 regular season nears its conclusion, Round Lake Evolution FC returns home for a critical Matchday 9 clash against Urbana City FC. With the playoff picture tightening and two matches left on the schedule, Evo enters the weekend with complete focus.

“We’re playing one match at a time. We’re focused. We know what’s in front of us if we succeed.”

There’s no looking ahead. No distractions. Just business.

🧩 The Standings So Far

Round Lake currently sits 4th in the Midwest Central Division with 15 points, just behind KS Wisloka Chicago and within striking distance of the top. A win Saturday would go a long way toward locking in postseason positioning — and keeping pressure on the clubs above.

⚔️ The Opponent: Urbana City FC

Despite their record, Urbana presents a challenge that Evo is taking seriously. Urbana currently sits in 10th place but is coming off their first win of the season.

“Urbana is a great opponent. They’ve been struggling this season, but you can never underestimate an opponent at this level.”

The match will come down to execution, not assumptions.

“We hope they come to play their game — and we play ours. That’s the only important thing.”

When asked if there were any special tactics being prepared behind the scenes, the response was simple:

“LOL — we don’t discuss that.”

Evo’s focus remains internal.

🔒 One Unit, One Standard

There are no individual names in the spotlight this week — and that’s by design.

“We want to shout out the squad as a whole. They’ve been keeping this serious and have been showing up and out.”

The coaching staff plans to maintain the same core lineup that’s brought success throughout the season:

“We want to keep the same core.”

The keys to the match?

“Keep a cool head.”

🎤 The Message to Round Lake

It’s more than a match. It’s a homecoming. It’s an opportunity. It’s one step closer to playoffs.

“VAMOOOS ROUND LAKE.”

The mission is clear: give the fans something to celebrate under the stadium lights.

“We expect them to leave happy.”

Evolution Earns Point in 2–2 Battle with Berber City

Round Lake Evolution FC fought to a 2–2 draw against Berber City FC on Matchday 5 of the UPSL Midwest Central season.

Match Recap

Berber City struck first, scoring in the opening three minutes to put Evo under early pressure. But the response came before halftime. In the 38th minute, Ronaldo Rojas converted a free kick to level the score. Just two minutes later, Rojas struck again — this time finishing off a perfectly timed assist from Nikita Stepanov, who beat his man down the flank, pulled the last defender and goalkeeper out of position, and set up an easy tap-in for Evo’s No. 9.

Evolution carried the lead deep into the second half, but late drama changed the outcome. In the 85th minute, a penalty was awarded to Berber City, who converted from the spot to make it 2–2. Despite Evo’s efforts in the closing moments, the points were shared.

Standout Performances

• Ronaldo Rojas – two goals, clinical finishing under pressure.
  
  

• Nikita Stepanov – relentless running on the wing, critical assist for the second goal.
  
  

• Defensive core – kept Berber City’s dangerous attack under control for most of the night.
  
  

Atmosphere

The match was played at Round Lake High School under challenging circumstances, with a lighter-than-usual crowd. Even so, the players delivered intensity on the pitch, representing the community with pride.

Quotes

• Head Coach Lorenzo Cortez: “We showed resilience after going down early. The players fought back hard, and we created enough to win the game. The late penalty hurts, but we’re still in a strong position.”
  
  

• Assistant Coach Milton Carranza: “Ronny was excellent tonight, but it was also about the work rate of everyone around him. This team is evolving every match.”
  
  

• Club Director Alvaro Vazquez: “The turnout wasn’t what we hoped for, but the guys on the field gave everything. This is just another step in the story we’re writing for Round Lake.”
  
  

The Table

With the draw, Evolution remain in second place in the Midwest Central standings on 8 points, level with Black Cat FC but ahead on goal differential. Berber City stays just behind with 7 points. KS Wisloka Chicago leads the conference with 10 points.

What’s Next

Evolution travel to face TBD FC in their next matchup, looking to bounce back and continue the push at the top of the table.

Match Preview: Round Lake Evolution FC vs KS Wisloka Chicago

After opening the season with a commanding 4-0 win over Chicago Strikers, Round Lake Evolution FC is heading into Week 2 of the UPSL Spring 2025 campaign with momentum on their side. Sitting in second place on goal differential, the Evo now face one of the league’s toughest tests: KS Wisloka Chicago, the reigning UPSL League Champions.

A Clash with the Champions

Wisloka opened their season in style, dismantling Issa Villarreal 6-0. Known for their physicality and relentless attack, they’ll pose a serious challenge for Round Lake. While the Evo don’t consider them rivals, this matchup carries weight — it’s an early chance to measure themselves against the title holders.

“Wisloka is a strong opponent, no doubt,” said head coach Lorenzo Cortez. “But these are the games we live for — to test ourselves against the best and prove what Round Lake football is about.”

Evo Momentum

Last week, JJ struck twice in the first half, with Alex Fillian and Luis Flores adding goals to secure the 4-0 victory. The defensive trio of Andy Rodriguez, Brian Murgia, and goalkeeper Johny Campa were equally impressive — Campa pulling off a highlight-reel save diving to his left to preserve the clean sheet.

Assistant coach Milton Carranza praised the team’s balance:

“We defended with grit and attacked with confidence. That’s the standard we want to carry forward into every match.”

On the Road Again

This Sunday, the Evo travel to face Wisloka on their home turf. Known for having one of the loudest fanbases in the league, Wisloka will bring the noise, but Round Lake is eager to meet the challenge.

Club owner Varo Vazquez expressed gratitude to Evo supporters:

“It’s a drive, but we always appreciate every single fan who shows up for us on the road. Your presence matters. This is about representing the whole Round Lake community.”

Round Lake Evolution FC Cruises to 4–0 Victory Over Chicago Strikers

Round Lake, IL — After a rain delay that pushed kickoff back an hour and thinned the crowd, Round Lake Evolution FC made sure the fans who stayed were rewarded with a dominant performance. The Evo secured a 4–0 win over Chicago Strikers in UPSL action, showcasing both attacking firepower and defensive resilience.

First-Half Control

It took just 11 minutes for Round Lake to break the deadlock. Forward JJ opened the scoring with a composed finish, setting the tone early. Just ten minutes later, he doubled the lead with a second strike, putting the Evo firmly in control.

As halftime approached, Alex Fillian added a third in the 41st minute, sending the team into the break with a commanding 3–0 advantage.

Defensive Brilliance & Second-Half Sealing Goal

While the attack was sharp, it was the defense that ensured Chicago Strikers never found their footing. Andy Rodrigues and Brian Murgia led the backline with top-tier performances, shutting down any attempt at a comeback.

Goalkeeper Johny Campa produced one of the highlights of the night, diving fully to his left to deny a powerful effort that looked destined for the net.

In the 60th minute, Luis Flores capped off the scoring with a confident finish, sealing the 4–0 result.

Quotes from the Evo

Head Coach Lorenzo Cortez praised the team’s balance:

“We were clinical in the attack and disciplined in defense. Even with the rain delay and a smaller crowd, the players kept their focus and delivered a professional performance.”

Assistant Coach Milton Carranza highlighted the fight of the squad:

“This was about grit and heart. Everyone stepped up, from the backline to the forwards. Nights like this show what the Evo are made of.”

Club Owner Alvaro Vazquez looked ahead:

“This win is another step in our journey. Our goal has always been to represent Round Lake with pride, and performances like tonight prove we’re building something special.”

Looking Ahead

The 4–0 victory adds momentum to Round Lake Evolution FC’s UPSL campaign as the team continues its push through the season.

Round Lake Evolution FC: Spring 2025 Season Wrap-Up

The Spring 2025 UPSL season has officially come to a close for Round Lake Evolution FC. And while the journey ended in the semifinals, this was a campaign marked by growth, resilience, and an undeniable connection with the Round Lake community.

We finished the regular season with a 5W-1D-3L record, qualifying for the playoffs and earning a spot in the quarterfinals. On the road, we faced Black Cat FC and came away with a 2-1 win, advancing to the UPSL Midwest Central Semifinals.

There, we faced off against a familiar rival, Chicago Nation FC. In a hard-fought battle, Evolution came up short with a 3-1 loss, ending our playoff run. But this result doesn’t define our season.

From day one, the squad committed to playing with intensity, unity, and pride. Players stepped up, fans showed out, and the support we received from local businesses and families made this one of the most connected seasons in our club's history.

We proudly represented the entire Round Lake area — Round Lake, Beach, Heights, and Park. Every win, every goal, every tough moment was for this community.

Thank you to every supporter, player, coach, volunteer, and sponsor who helped make Spring 2025 unforgettable.

We’re proud of what we built. And we’re not done.

Fall 2025 is coming.

🔥 MATCHDAY 10 PREVIEW: ROUND LAKE EVOLUTION FC VS TBD FC

One Game. One Mission. Playoffs.
📍 Round Lake High School Stadium
🗓 Saturday, June 14, 2025
🕕 Kickoff: 6:00 PM
🎟 Entry: $10

Round Lake Evolution FC heads into its final regular season match with everything on the line.

After a narrow 2-1 defeat on the road to conference leaders KS Wisloka Chicago, the Evo remain in fourth place with 16 points — holding onto the final playoff spot by just two points over a surging TBD FC. The math is simple: a win guarantees Evolution a postseason berth. Anything less, and the door is open for elimination.

TBD FC, unbeaten in their last five, come into Round Lake with momentum and motivation. A win for the visitors would leapfrog them into fourth place, knocking Evo out of the playoff picture. But Round Lake holds the advantage of home turf, fan support, and a roster filled with local pride and proven talent.

Midfielder Luis Avilés, who scored in last week’s loss, continues to be a key figure in Evolution’s attack, while newcomers like Eliam Mier add depth and urgency to a midfield group that’s shown grit all season.

Head Coach Lorenzo Cortez has been clear about the mindset:

“We’re not here to hope for playoffs. We’re here to take them.”

This isn’t just another league match — it’s a final. The winner advances. The loser watches from home. With local pride, a playoff spot, and the season on the line, Saturday night promises intensity from the opening whistle.

Don’t miss the most important match in club history to date. Bring the energy. Wear red and black. And make your voice heard.

🧮 PLAYOFF SCENARIOS:

• Win = Clinch playoffs (19 pts)
  
  

• Draw = Most likely in (17 pts), TBD stays at 15

Match Preview: Round Lake Evolution FC vs. United SC

📅 Saturday, May 25, 2025
🕗 Kickoff: 8:00 PM
📍 Lions for Hope Sports Complex, Chicago
🎟️ Entry: $8

Round Lake Evolution FC is back in action for Matchday 7 in a unique setting — a home match being hosted away from home. Originally scheduled at Round Lake High School, this matchup had to be relocated due to a track event conflict. In a show of sportsmanship and flexibility, United SC has opened their doors, allowing Evo to host at the Lions for Hope Sports Complex in Chicago.

Currently sitting in 5th place with 10 points, Evo is just three points away from a top-three spot and has a game in hand. A win here could be pivotal in tightening the playoff race. United SC, meanwhile, sits just behind in 6th place with 9 points, making this a true six-pointer.

Last weekend, Round Lake Evolution secured a gutsy 2-1 comeback win over Chicago Nation, featuring a highlight-reel scissor kick from Morais Lee and a clinical finish from Jesse Anamoo. The squad comes into this fixture with renewed energy and focus.

United SC is a dangerous side with 15 goals scored this season but also a leaky backline, conceding 16. Evo’s discipline in the midfield and sharpness on counters could prove the difference.

What to Expect:

• A later kickoff under the lights in the city
  
  

• Evo looking to build momentum and climb the standings
  
  

• High energy, playoff-chasing intensity
  
  

Vamos Evolution. See you Saturday.

MATCH RECAP:

Chicago Nation FC 1 - 2 Round Lake Evolution FC

Round Lake Evolution FC pulled off a thrilling comeback win on the road against rivals Chicago Nation FC in Matchday 6 of the UPSL Midwest Central North Division. The 2-1 victory at the College of DuPage Stadium on May 10, 2025, was packed with drama, grit, and two unforgettable second-half goals.

The first half saw Chicago Nation take the lead, going into halftime with a 1-0 advantage. But the Evo came out of the break with purpose and fire.

Just one minute into the second half, Morais Lee stunned the crowd with an outrageous scissor kick from outside the box that ripped into the net to level the score 1-1. It was a momentum-shifting goal that energized the entire squad.

The match-winner came in the 63rd minute, and it was all about hustle. A misplayed back pass to Chicago Nation’s goalkeeper turned into a disaster under pressure from Oscar Hernandez Campa, who forced a turnover. Jesse Anamoo was there to pounce and slotted it home with confidence to make it 2-1.

While the attack delivered, credit must also go to Evo goalkeeper Jerry Perez, who came up with several clutch saves to preserve the win in the closing moments.

Head Coach Lorenzo Cortez praised the response: "Going down a goal on the road isn’t easy, but the guys showed belief and executed when it mattered most. That scissor kick by Morais changed everything."

Assistant Coach Milton Carranza added, "It wasn’t just the goals—it was the fight. Oscar pressing, Jesse finishing, Jerry locking it down—everyone stepped up."

With this victory, Round Lake Evolution FC continues to climb the table and assert themselves as one of the most dangerous teams in the division.

Matchday 7 is next as Evo returns home to host United SC. Let’s keep the momentum going.
