Terzaghi Named USL League One Cleer Audio Player of the Month

TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One announced on Thursday that Richmond Kickers’ forward and reigning league MVP Emiliano Terzaghi has been named the Cleer Audio Player of the Month for the month of July after earning a unanimous vote from the USL Technical Committee and earning the second-most votes in the accompanying fan poll.
 
The Argentine talisman was instrumental in the Kickers’ performance over the month as the reigning Golden Boot winner banged in five goals in five matches at a rate of 86.8 minutes between goals.
 
“It is always good to be recognized for my work, and it is an honor for me to represent my club,” Terzaghi said. “For the remainder of the season, our focus is on continuing to grow as a group and seek playoff qualification.”
Terzaghi’s most emphatic performance of the month — against North Texas SC at City Stadium on July 3 — saw the striker score two different equalizing goals before assisting Jonathan Bolanos’ game-winning goal that sealed the Kickers’ comeback 3-2 victory and the club’s first win over North Texas SC. Terzaghi was honored as the Cleer Audio Player of the Week following his heroics over the FC Dallas affiliate.
 
Three of the five goals in July were equalizers including a late strike that earned the Kickers a 1-1 draw against Fort Lauderdale CF. Terzaghi sparked another comeback that earned a draw at South Georgia Tormenta FC when he scored the Kickers’ opening goal in the second half when the Reds were trailing 2-0.
“Emi has been a high performer for us within USL League One over the past season and a half,” Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach Darren Sawatzky said. “We are always happy for him when he is recognized for his work and leadership. As we go into the stretch run of games, we will need his leadership and quality in the tight league race.”
 
Terzaghi capped off the month of July with a first-half game winner after earning a penalty kick against FC Tucson. The forward was clipped in the box after Victor Falck played a perfectly-weighted through ball that allowed Terzaghi to split the defenders. Terzaghi took the spot kick and sent the keeper diving to the wrong side as he placed a perfectly-taken penalty in the back of the net.
This marks the second time Terzaghi has been named USL League One Player of the Month as a member of the Kickers. He previously won the award in September of 2020.
 
Terzaghi and the Kickers return home, Saturday night, at City Stadium when they host New England Revolution II for the third time this season and the second time at City Stadium in 2021. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. The match will air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466) and streamed on ESPN+.

Kickers Sign San Antonio FCs Ethan Bryant on Loan

RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the signing of San Antonio FC midfielder Ethan Bryant on loan for the remainder of the 2021 season, pending league and federation approval.
 
“Ethan is a player we have known for a while, all the way back to his all star performance in the ECNL when Mika Elovaara was the commissioner for the league,” Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach Darren Sawatzky said. “I have watched him play in academy competitions and in the USL Championship for a few years. San Antonio was gracious enough to allow Ethan to come here and continue his development as a player and we want to thank Nick Evans and Tim Holt in particular for the help.”
Bryant, a native of Longview, Tx., joined San Antonio FC as a USL Academy player in early 2018 as a 16-year-old after impressing in the club’s Elite Training Program during the 2017 season and 2018 preseason. Not only the first signing for SAFC’s ETP program, he would also go on to be the club’s youngest signing at the time.
 
The homegrown midfielder announced himself in stunning fashion during his debut which also marked his first professional start in June 2018 against Sacramento Republic FC. Bryant gathered the ball near the midfield line on the SAFC side of the pitch before lacing a perfectly weighted chip to an unmarked César Elizondo. The striker placed a curling effort past the keeper as Bryant notched his first professional assist.
 
Later in the summer, in August 2018, Bryant would again produce an iconic play just six days after turning 17. Against the then Seattle Sounders 2, SAFC’s Lance Laing surged the ball up the left flank before drilling a cross into the box. Bryant, who was drifting up the center into the box, turned on the burners and put his foot through the cross to catch the volley perfectly. The ball arched off his foot and rattled the bottom of the crossbar as it ricocheted over the goal line, into the ground, and rocketed back up into the top netting.
“We want local young players to litter our roster and we have started working on that process with Damian Gallegos and Ty Johnson,” Sawatzky said. “Ethan represents a nationally recognized young player with great experience and drive. He is hungry to play and compete and his character fits the culture we are looking for long term here in Richmond.  We brought him here to compete on day one to play in games for us as we compete for the USL League One playoffs. He is gritty, technically gifted, and he brings a swagger to our group.” 
 
Following 16 USL Championship appearances for San Antonio FC with 1,225 minutes played, three assists and two goals, Bryant made a permanent move to Belgian Second Division side, K.S.V. Roeselare in August 2019. He trained with the first team, making the bench on several occasions, and he played with the reserve and U23 teams.
Following K.S.V. Roeselare folding in 2020, Bryant would make his return to San Antonio FC late in the 2020 USL Championship season and make two appearances before signing a new deal for 2021.
 
“[The coaching staff at San Antonio] mentioned that the Kickers were interested, and Darren reached out to me,” Bryant said. “He put out a plan, and I really liked what he had to say. I’m happy to be here in Richmond.
 
“I want to help the team in any way I can. There’s a good foundation here and I think we’re moving in the right way. I just want to help in any way I can — goals, assists, good performances. I think I’m fully prepared to do that because of the experiences I’ve had. I’m ready to show it now.”
The Kickers return home, Saturday night, at City Stadium when they host New England Revolution II for the third time this season and the second time at City Stadium in 2021. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. The match will air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466) and streamed on ESPN+.
 
TRANSACTION: Richmond Kickers have signed midfielder Ethan Bryant on loan from San Antonio FC of the USL Championship for the remainder of the 2021 USL League One season on August 12, 2021.

Kickers sign Richmond United Midfielder Ty Johnson

RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the signing of Richmond United midfielder Ty Johnson to a USL Academy contract, pending league and federation approval.
 
“We are excited for Ty to have this opportunity with the Richmond Kickers pro team,” Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach Darren Sawatzky said. “He had an excellent year with Richmond United and he has come in and trained hard with us.”
 
Johnson (17), a rising senior at Matoaca High School, is already committed to join Head Coach Carlos Somoano’s squad at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in Fall 2022. 
 
“It’s been an amazing experience to get in with the Kickers’ pro team and being able to see what the next level is like and get a taste of it and a feel for it,” Johnson said. “It’s very exciting to have the opportunity to sign and to play with them and be a part of the team.”
The midfielder has been a member of the Richmond United academy since U14 after a stint with Richmond Strikers at the U13 level. The Chesterfield native previously played soccer with Chesterfield United until U12.
 
“We are so happy for Ty to become the second Academy signing this season,” ECNL Director Sascha Görres said. “His development this season alone has been incredible. Every day he brings 100 percent to whatever he does and never ever makes an excuse. He earned this opportunity and we know he will represent Richmond well.“
 
An intelligent midfielder capable of cycling play out wide when on the ball or making penetrating forward runs off the ball, Johnson thrives in the number 10 role and has trained with the Kickers’ first team since the beginning of the summer.
“Ty is a competitor and is very coachable,” Sawatzky said. “He trained himself into this opportunity and we expect him to compete for game opportunities as he grows.
 
“He has handled the time he has been with the pro team with great character and a humble approach.  This fits into the type of player we want with the Kickers.”

The Kickers return to action, Friday afternoon, at BMO Training Ground when they face Toronto FC II for the first time in Canada since the 2019 season. Kickoff is slated for 4:00 p.m. The match will air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466), streamed on ESPN+, and broadcasted on the radio in Spanish on WULT 94.1 FM and 1540 AM.

TRANSACTION: Richmond Kickers have signed midfielder Ty Johnson to a USL Academy contract for the 2021 USL League One season on August 5, 2021.

Crisler Named to USL League One Cleer Audio Team of the Week

TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One announced on Monday that Richmond Kickers defender Jalen Crisler has been named to the Cleer Audio Team of the Week for Week 15 after Saturday’s home match against MLS affiliate Fort Lauderdale CF.
 
This marks the second time Crisler has been named to the Cleer Audio Team of the Week since he joined the Reds in February of 2021. He was previously named to the Cleer Audio Team of the Week for Week 7 following his performance against North Carolina FC at City Stadium on May 22, 2021.
 
“It’s an honor being named to the Cleer Audio Team of the Week, and it’s a testament to the work of the defense and the team as a whole,” Crisler said. “I felt we did a great job limiting Fort Lauderdale’s chances besides the early goal. 
 
“We were able to press well as a team, and that starts with the guys up top doing their part. We battled hard and did well to win our duels, and Akira [Fitzgerald] was great in net, as usual, making saves and organizing us. It was great to see the team respond how we did and stay focused through the delay and be able to come away with a deserving point.”
Crisler was instrumental in limiting a potent Fort Lauderdale attack. The MLS affiliate was held to only five (5) shots while only completing 65.6 percent of its passes. The veteran centerback led the team with nine (9) duels won and eight (8) defensive recoveries made further showing why he along with his centerback partner Ivan Magalhães are one of the top duos in the league — the pair lead the team in minutes played while starting in all 12 of the Kickers’ matches to start the season. On top of his defensive output, Crisler won four (4) fouls and made two (2) key passes
 
“Jalen has been a very consistent player for us all season,” First Assistant Coach Mika Elovaara said. “He is a humble leader and a consummate pro, and I am very happy for him to be recognized for his performance on Saturday.”
 
Richmond has a quick turnaround from Saturday as the Reds prepare to head down to Cary, N.C., Wednesday night, for the second match at NCFC in less than a month — the third time overall that the two sides have faced off season. Kickoff at Sahlen’s Stadium is set for 7:00 p.m. ET live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206/Verizon FiOS 466) and streaming on ESPN+. This match will also be live in Spanish on the radio on WULT Ultra 94.1FM/1540AM.
GK – Tim Trilk, Chattanooga Red Wolves SC: Trilk made eight combined saves across Chattanooga’s two matches last week, allowing only one goal from open play to help the Red Wolves earn a win against Tormenta FC and a tough away draw against North Texas SC.
 
D – Connor Tobin, Forward Madison FC: Tobin contributed to Madison earning an away point against Union Omaha on Friday night at both ends of the field. He scored a 67th-minute equalizer, won 5 of 6 duels, and directly denied Omaha’s prolific striker Greg Hurst on two separate occasions with a goal line clearance and an emergency sliding block.
 
D – Derek Waldeck, North Texas SC: Waldeck whipped in an inch-perfect cross to set up North Texas’ only goal in its 1-1 draw with Chattanooga on Saturday, completed a game-high 37 passes at a 77 percent success rate, and made two tackles.
 
D – Jalen Crisler, Richmond Kickers: Crisler led all players in Richmond’s 1-1 draw with Fort Lauderdale CF with nine duels won, made eight recoveries, created two chances and passed at an 82 percent accuracy rate.
 
M – Steffen Yeates, Toronto FC II: Yeates hardly put a foot wrong for the Young Reds. His passing was sublime, as he created a game-high five chances and completed 65 passes at a whopping 97 percent success rate.
 
M – Luca Mayr, South Georgia Tormenta FC: Mayr was the driving force behind Tormenta’s incredible 3-2 comeback win against rival Greenville Triumph SC on Saturday. He assisted Marco Micaletto for South Georgia’s first goal, then scored the second himself moments later with a brilliant free kick. The Austrian also won 10 duels and completed three successful dribbles.
 
M – Charlie Dennis, FC Tucson: The Brighton, England native picked up a pair of assists in Tucson’s big win over New England. Dennis created six chances in total while passing at an 85 percent success rate.
 
M – Conor Doyle, Union Omaha: Doyle ran the show in midfield during Omaha’s 1-1 draw with Forward Madison FC. He assisted Devin Boyce with a quality through ball for the team’s only goal, won 6 of 7 duels, completed two dribbles and won two tackles.
 
M – Aaron Walker, Greenville Triumph SC: Despite Greenville’s loss to Tormenta, Walker put in a quality performance. He scored Triumph SC’s second goal with a fine first-time finish, created two chances, and won seven duels.
 
F – Garrett McLaughlin, Toronto FC II: McLaughlin’s excellent hat trick brought his tally on the season to eight goals, good for second in the League One Golden Boot race behind only Greenville’s Marios Lomis.
 
F – Tobenna Uzo, FC Tucson: Uzo bagged his first two goals in Tucson colors in the team’s win against New England, both headers in the second half. He also led all players in the game in duels won (nine) and fouls drawn (five).

Sam Solomon Earns First Professional Contract with the Kickers

RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the signing of forward Sam Solomon following a successful trial period, pending league and federation approval. Solomon will be available for selection Saturday when the Kickers host Fort Lauderdale CF at City Stadium. 
 
“Sam came into camp this year with the goal of making our roster,” Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach Darren Sawatzky said. “He has stayed true to his commitment and he has worked incredibly hard for the chance to play for the Kickers. Sam comes every day ready to work hard and through the friendly games and daily training — he has worked himself into this opportunity. Sam was already part of us, today just solidifies his name on the Kickers roster.”
Solomon (21) signs his first professional contract with the Kickers after training successfully as a trialist over the last five months. He began training with fellow trialists turned Kickers’ pros, Austin Causey and Chris Cole.
 
“I want to thank Coach Darren and Coach Mika [Elovaara] for believing in me and bringing me on originally as a trialist,” Solomon said. “I also want to thank the guys in the dressing room for welcoming me as a member of the team since the beginning. It’s very fulfilling to achieve this first professional goal of signing a contract with the club.”
Solomon came to Richmond via the DMV area after playing three years of college soccer at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) as well as the National Premier Soccer League’s Northern Virginia United. 
 
He prides himself on being a jack of all trades who brings intelligence and pace to the various areas of the pitch, and he specialized in college as a player to come in as a sub and change up the makeup of the match. During his final season at UMBC, Solomon, despite not starting the match, contributed two goals on two shots including the gamewinner when the Retrievers defeated Liberty University 4-1. While a forward at UMBC, Solomon also brings defensive experience as a former centerback in high school.
 
“We are consistently looking for the best ways to trial players and have them in our environment,” Sawatzky said. “With the issues all the teams face in the current landscape, having guys with us in full-time training is the best way to see them. We are building in Richmond for the long term and the training trialist initiative has already paid dividends for us in 2021. Sam wants to compete and take his game as far as he can, so the work starts now for him in regards to game days.”
The Kickers return to action Saturday night at City Stadium when they host Fort Lauderdale CF — the MLS affiliate to David Beckham’s Inter Miami. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. Tickets are still available for the match at https://sportsengine-staging.go-vip.net/richmondkickers/tickets. The match will also air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466) and will be streamed on ESPN+.

Kickers Sign Richmond United Midfielder Damian Gallegos

RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the signing of Richmond United midfielder Damian Gallegos to a USL Academy contract, pending league and federation approval. Gallegos will be available for selection Saturday when the Kickers host Fort Lauderdale CF at City Stadium. 
 
“Damian has worked very hard as a youth player to put himself in a position to play college soccer at VCU,” Richmond Kickers’ Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach Darren Sawatzky said. “He had a great ECNL playoffs scoring five goals and capping off a good academy season. It is important that we respect that work and reward the level of training he has brought to Kickers pro training each day.
 
“This is a deserved opportunity and we are looking to help him launch from the Richmond United opportunity to his opportunity at VCU. We want to bring in players aspiring to get to the next level, and if you are good enough, you are old enough.”
Gallegos (18), a native of Mechanicsville, Va., has played for Richmond United for the last six years. Previously, he was a Richmond Kickers Youth player as a member of the U12 Elite team, and as a member of the travel teams starting at U9.
 
“Originally, Coach [Michael] Callahan from Richmond United initiated the talk between Coach Sawatzky and me,” Gallegos said. “We started a scouting process where Coach Darren came to watch our games and training sessions, and it progressed to him reaching out and starting the conversation of when I could get out to the Kickers’ practice.
 
“I was really excited and a little bit nervous at first coming out here. But after that I really got to experience the professional environment, and I’m just really excited to continue and progress through Coach Darren and learn from him.”
Gallegos began training with the first team earlier this summer and he slotted into the team’s culture quickly exhibiting his industrious play, intelligence, and humility.
 
“The Richmond Kickers pro team is about the community and we want to represent that community well,” Sawatzky said. “Damian is from the local youth soccer community and he embodies character in his approach. I think the speed of play and speed of thought in the pro training will help him as he grows, but he is a natural in our culture because he is humble, works hard, and he appreciates the opportunity to play with us before he heads off to college.”
 
The oldest of three brothers, Gallegos is the first to reach the top of the Richmond-area soccer pyramid while his brothers Marcos (17) plays for the Richmond Kickers Youth and Mateo (12) plays for the Richmond United after previously playing for the Richmond Kickers Youth.
“All of us at Richmond United are incredibly proud of Damian and wish him all the best in this next step in his soccer career,” ECNL Director Sascha Görres said. “For six years he has represented Richmond United well with his incredible ability, hard work, focused approach and humility. As the eighth Richmond United player signing with the Richmond Kickers team on a USL Academy contract, his pathway is another great example of young players earning the opportunity to represent the Richmond community at the professional level.”
 
Gallegos will continue to play and train with the Kickers through the summer before he joins Head Coach Dave Giffard’s side at VCU at the start of the 2021 Fall semester.
 
“I’m really proud and excited to have this experience playing for the first team of my hometown club,” Gallegos said. “I know there are a couple players who have done this before, and I’m just really glad to be the next one to be introduced through an Academy contract.”
 
The Kickers return to action Saturday night at City Stadium when they host Fort Lauderdale CF — the MLS affiliate to David Beckham’s Inter Miami. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. Tickets are still available for the match at https://sportsengine-staging.go-vip.net/richmondkickers/tickets. The match will also air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466) and will be streamed on ESPN+.

Terzaghi Named USL League One Cleer Audio Player of the Week

TAMPA, Fla. — Richmond Kickers’ forward Emiliano Terzaghi was named the Cleer Audio Player of the Week by USL League One, Monday, following Terzaghi’s two goals and assist of the match-winner in the Kickers’ 3-2 victory over North Texas SC.

“I am very happy for the recognition, but even more for getting a victory that we needed and being able to give it to the fans in our house,” Terzaghi said.

The reigning league MVP was instrumental in orchestrating the Reds’ come-from-behind victory at City Stadium, Saturday night. After Richmond conceded the opening goal, the home side struck back quickly thanks to the enterprising play from the attack. Victor Falck launched a long-range effort that could only be deflected by the North Texas keeper. Juan Pablo Monticelli quickly gathered the rebound and recycled it into the mixer. Terzaghi got in front of his defender but at an angle where the only option was the spectacular. So the Argentine kicked his leg out and guided the ball into the net with the back of his heel.

North Texas would find a second goal before the end of the first half, but Terzaghi would deliver a second equalizer shortly after the beginning of the second half. The forward made a dangerous run into the North Texas penalty area during the buildup and was fouled. The referee pointed to the spot, and Terzaghi cooly walked over to take the penalty kick. The veteran used a methodical approach to send the keeper the wrong way while Terzaghi calmly guided the ball into the bottom left corner.

Soon after, Terzaghi would gather a loose ball in the opposition half and quickly flicked the ball to Jonathan Bolanos who raced up the left-wing. The forward used his left foot to hit a floating ball near the backline that drifted over the keeper’s head and clanged off the right post and into the back of the net. Bolano’s effort off the Terzaghi assist would prove to be the match-winner as the Kickers saw out the remainder of the match with its 3-2 lead intact.

“I am happy for Emiliano,” Richmond Kickers’ Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach Darren Sawatzky said. “He has had a lot going on in his life this year and to find a couple goals and lead our team to a comeback win at home was great.  Recognition for hard work is always good and I know he shares the shout with his teammates.”

Terzaghi finished the match with three-goal contributions and it was the second time this season that he scored two goals in a match — the first time coming against South Georgia Tormenta FC in early May. On top of affecting the scoreline, Terzaghi led the Reds with four (4) key passes, 14 of his 20 total passes coming in the opposition half along with 14 total good passes or crosses across the pitch. He also led the team with two (2) fouls won including the incident that led to the penalty given.

Furthermore, Terzaghi currently ranks third in the league with six (6) goals scored and seventh in the league with two (2) assists.

This marks the first time Terzaghi was named Cleer Audio Player of the Week by USL League One during the 2021 season. Terzaghi previously was named to the league’s team of the week for his efforts during the fifth match week. Terzaghi joins Monticelli and Nil Vinyals as the Kickers’ players that have earned player of the week honors this season.

The Kickers will enjoy an off weekend before returning to City Stadium on Saturday, July 17 to host Fort Lauderdale CF — the affiliate club to the MLS’ Inter Miami CF. Kickoff for that match is set for 6:30 p.m. Tickets for that match are available at https://sportsengine-staging.go-vip.net/richmondkickers/tickets.

TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One announced on Monday the Team of the Week Presented by Cleer Audio for Week 13 of the 2021 regular season, with Richmond Kickers forward Emiliano Terzaghi named Player of the Week after recording two goals and an assist in his side’s 3-2 comeback win against North Texas SC on Saturday.
 
The Argentine attacker leveled the game twice with goals in both the first and second halves. The former was a fantastic, inventive heel flick, and the latter a clinical take from the penalty spot. Terzaghi then set up teammate Jonathan Bolanos for the game-winning goal, helping the Kickers pick up a valuable three points.
 
Greenville Triumph SC’s dominant 3-0 win against the New England Revolution II sees the team lead all clubs with three players represented in this week’s team.
 
GK – Caleb Patterson-Sewell, Toronto FC II: The veteran goalkeeper was spectacular for TFC II in its Wednesday away win against South Georgia Tormenta FC, making eight saves to preserve the result for his side.
 
D – Christian Diaz, Forward Madison FC: Diaz was everywhere for Madison on Wednesday night, contributing at both ends of the pitch in the Flamingos’ 1-0 win against New England. He created three chances, made three tackles, won 10 duels and was fouled three times – all game-highs.
 
D – Damia Viader, Union Omaha: The Spaniard continued his strong season on Saturday night, putting in a shift as Omaha ended the game with 10 men in a 1-1 draw with Chattanooga. He led all players in the match in duels won (12), dribbles completed (six), and tackles made (three).
 
D – Abdi Mohamed, Greenville Triumph SC: Mohamed’s excellent through ball set up Marios Lomis for the opening goal in Greenville’s 3-0 away win against New England on Sunday. The fullback also made six clearances, won four duels, and created two chances to go along with two tackles.
 
M – Charlie Dennis, FC Tucson: Dennis assisted Tucson’s game-winning goal against Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, just one of six chances in total he created. He also led all players in the match with 10 duels won, drew five fouls, and passed at a 95 percent success rate.
 
M – Aaron Walker, Greenville Triumph SC: Walker created three chances in Greenville’s win against New England, one of which turned into an assist when Lomis finished it off in style. The midfielder also won seven duels, made two tackles, and recorded six recoveries.
 
M – Noble Okello, Toronto FC II: In addition to scoring the opening goal of TFC II’s win over Tormenta last Wednesday from the penalty spot, the Canadian international led all players in the match with four completed tackles and won six duels to boot.
 
M – Manuel Ferriol, FC Tucson: Ferriol made a massive impact as a late substitute in Tucson’s win against Fort Lauderdale. He scored the game-winning goal in spectacular fashion from the edge of the area just moments after entering the game, and completed 100 percent of his passes in the closing stages while also winning 3 of his 4 duels.
 
F – Emiliano Terzaghi, Richmond Kickers: On top of his contributions to all three of his team’s goals in a narrow win, Terzaghi led all players in Richmond’s victory over North Texas with five total chances created.
 
F – Marios Lomis, Greenville Triumph SC: Lomis scored a terrific hat trick to lift Greenville to a momentum-building 3-0 win over New England on Sunday, making him the first player in League One this season to reach double-digit goals. His tally of 11 sees him atop the Golden Boot race.

F – Mark Hernandez, Chattanooga Red Wolves SC: In a season where Chattanooga has seemed to score late in every one of its matches, it was Hernandez’s turn to play the hero on Saturday. His equalizer in second-half stoppage time picked up what could be an all-important road point for the Red Wolves come the end of the season.

There will be a collection point inside City Stadium where fans can drop off cards or write memories of David that will be presented to the Bulow family.
