Cary, NC (Friday, July 18, 2008) - The Carolina RailHawks were defeated by the Puerto Rico Islanders 2-0 on Friday night with goals by Josh Hansen and Fabrice Noel all in the first half. The match saw the return of Jonny Steele to WakeMed Soccer Park for the first time since he left the Carolina RailHawks to go to Puerto Rico. Hansen scored on a pass by Islanders midfielder Petter Villegas in the 16th minute and Noel took advantage of a defensive mistake by the RailHawks and found himself with the ball right in front of Chris McClellan who was not able to save it. RailHawks newcomer Hamed Diallo was brought down in the box twice but the referee did not deem a penalty call necessary both times. The RailHawks played without injured Mauricio Segovia and were able to utilize Frankie Sanfilippo, who is also returning from injury, only on the second half.
