(Cincinnati, Ohio) – The Riverhawks have signed 31-year old midfielder Philippe Godoy to the squad for the 2003 season. Philippe re-joins the Hawks after spending time with the Milwaukee Rampage and the Atlanta Silverbacks. Philippe will bring immeasurable experience to the team after having played professionally for many years in France before coming over to the United States.
