Richmond (VA) - The Charlotte Independence, a United Soccer League professional soccer team, battled the Richmond Kickers to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night at City Stadium. The Independence equalized in the first half thanks to a long-range assist by Kay Voser finished by Cordell Cato for his team-leading, seventh goal of the season.
