Wilmington Hammerheads FC News Release


Wilmington, NC - Wilmington Hammerheads FC travels to the West Coast this week to take on Sacramento Republic FC on Wednesday, August 20 at 11:00 p.m. ET at Bonney Field. The Hammerheads look to earn a victory and gain points to capture one of the four remaining spots in playoffs.

Republic FC recently clinched a position in playoffs following Sunday's 6-1 victory against Orange County Blues FC. Following a 1-1 equalizer in the first half, Sacramento scored five goals in the second half to achieve the win that also earned forward Thomas Stewart the first hat trick in franchise history.

The Hammerheads enter Wednesday's match following a 1-0 defeat in stoppage time against New York Red Bulls Reserve on the road last weekend. The Hammerheads still have an opportunity to make playoffs, but are in close competition with a handful of clubs in the league standings.

This weekend's match can be viewed live on Sacramento Republic FC's YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/SacRepublicFC . The Hammerheads will not be hosting a watch party for Wednesday night's match.

The match in Sacramento is the beginning of a three-game series on the West Coast for the Hammerheads in six days. The team is scheduled to take on Orange County Blues FC on Saturday, August 23 and LA Galaxy II on Sunday, August 24 before returning to Wilmington.
