Turnhout|Turnhout]], and in the USL for the [[Cincinnati Riverhawks]] following his graduation from [[Xavier University]].
 
The team played its first competitive game on May 8, 2010, a 3–3 tie with the [[Cincinnati Kings]]. The first goal in franchise history was scored by [[Eddie Hertsenberg]].<ref name="uslsoccer2">{{cite web|url=http://www.uslsoccer.com/stats/2010/1584490.html |title=United Soccer Leagues (USL) |publisher=uslsoccer.com |access-date=2014-05-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140503022624/http://www.uslsoccer.com/stats/2010/1584490.html |archive-date=2014-05-03 }}</ref>
 
On July 8, 2010, the Lions announced that they would be self-promoting to the [[USL Second Division]] for the 2011 season, as well as adding a brand new women's team in the [[USL W-League (1995–2015)|USL W-League]]. During the announcement, team owner Mike Mossel said "The promotion to USL-2 and development of a W-League club was just a matter of time. To be the best, we must begin to play among the upper-echelon clubs. We want to set a standard, and I believe we have done that so far in the PDL in our first season. But more importantly, our decision was made with our Premier Academy in mind.".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/446085.html |title=Dutch Lions Join USL-2 |access-date=2010-07-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100712153808/http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/446085.html |archive-date=2010-07-12 |url-status=dead }}</ref> With the merger of the [[United Soccer Leagues|USL]] [[USL First Division|First]] and [[USL Second Division|Second]] Divisions to form [[USL Pro]] in 2011, the Dutch Lions were announced as a founding team.<ref name="Dutch Lions Join USL PRO"/>
