The Riverhounds FC Beat the Wilmington Hammerheads by a score of 3-1 in a soggy match in North Carolina Saturday night.
Kick off for the match was delayed roughly thirty minutes due to rain and lightening.
When the game got underway the Riverhounds jumped out to a quick lead when Jason Kutney scored with a Jean Robens assist.
In the 22nd minute Mike Apple scored with an assist by David Flavius just before the game was suspended due to lightening in the area.
At 10:10 p.m. the match between the two teams resumed in the first half with the HOUNDS leading 2-0.
David Flavius added insurance to the HOUNDS' lead with a 40 yard run with the ball and an unassisted goal.
The Hammerheads avoided the shut-out by scoring late in the second half.
"This was a great win," said head coach Gene Klein. "Our boys gave a really terrific effort."
The Riverhounds host the Columbus Crew in an exhibition match on Tuesday, August 8th at Falconi Field when first kick is scheduled for 7:05. The field will be freshly sodded prior to the match. Tickets are available at the Falconi Field Box Office. The first 1,000 youngster will receive a mini soccer ball, courtesy of Washington Federal Savings Bank.
