Harrisburg, PA â Defender Alex Brown scored with just 10 minutes left in the match to lift the Williamsburg Legacy to a 2-1 win over the Harrisburg City Islanders at Busch Stadium in Williamsburg on Saturday night. The loss drops Harrisburg to 3-3-2 (11 points).
J.T. Dorsey scored Harrisburg's lone goal, in the 25th minute, off a David Schofield assist. Following Dorsey's score, the Islanders were held in check for the remainder of the match.
Harrisburg goalkeeper Peter Boyer did his best to insure that the lack of scoring would not be a problem, posting 11 saves (a club single-game record) in his first professional start. But two Legacy goals within a six-minute span late in the second half spelled disaster for Harrisburg.
Forward Brannon Thomas tied the game at the 74-minute mark, and Brown followed in the 80th minute with his decisive tally. Despite a series of ardent flurries as the clock wound down, Harrisburg could not find an equalizer as the club fell to a Premier Development League team for the first time.
