STATESBORO, Ga. - South Georgia Tormenta FC was unable to secure its fourth victory of the season after falling to the Richmond Kickers 1-3 tonight.

During the first half, South Georgia faced a challenging performance as the away team swiftly scored its first goal in the seventh minute, followed by a second goal in the 41st minute. Furthermore, in the 46th minute, the away team successfully converted a free kick, resulting in its third goal.
