Lexington SC News Release
LEXINGTON, KY - A tough night for Lexington SC Saturday ended 3-1 in favor of Rhode Island FC.
Two first-half goals from Rhode Island put Lexington behind the eight ball early, forcing the club to play from behind.
The visitors' Aldair Sanchez and Jojea Kwizera accounted for the first two scores of the evening, and Leo Afonso accounted for a third in the 68' minute.
Lexington did not throw in the towel, however, threatening several times in the final 15 minutes of play.
That determination led to Jacob Greene's first goal of the season off a lovely assist from Tarik Scott in his USL Championship debut.
LSC ultimately fell short of a second goal, moving to 1W-3L-2D with the result.
