Richmond Kickers News Release


RICHMOND, VA - (Thursday, February 26, 2015) - The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the return of defender and player/assistant coach, Sascha Görres for the 2015 season.

"Throughout his career, Sascha has consistently been one of the top performers in USL," commented Leigh Cowlishaw, Richmond Kickers Director of Soccer. "His experience and tactical knowledge is invaluable to our organization and he continues to be an impact player for the team."

A franchise player entering his 11th season with the Kickers and returning for his third season as an assistant coach, Görres has anchored Richmond's starting lineup since the 2005 season, logging 21,500 minutes in a Kickers uniform. Tied for third on the Kickers all-time games played list, he reached the 200th game mark on August 11, 2012 as the only field player to play every minute of every game that season.

Integral on both sides of the ball, the native of Flensburg, Germany contributed to seven shutouts in 2014 while adding firepower with one goal and four assists. A two-time USL All-League First Team honoree, two-time USL All-League Second Team honoree and 2008 USL Defender of the Year Finalist, he holds the franchise record for most consecutive games played (107) and resides in second place on the club's all-time career assists list with 49 and in sixth place on the all-time career points list with 83.

A First Team All-American, Görres was recognized as All-Conference and All-Tournament as well as named to the NSCAA All-Southeast Region squad and the NSCAA/adidas Scholar All-American squad at the University of North Carolina Pembroke. One of only two All-Americans to play for UNCP, Görres holds the school record for career assists with 28 and scored the game-winning goal in the NCAA quarterfinal match that sent UNCP to their first ever Final Four appearance.
