The Kickers Indoor team took the field again in front of another packed crowd at SCOR on Friday, to reach for the Mid-Atlantic Division Championship. The Kickers couldn’t find the net in the 1st quarter, but sadly the Impact did. Greg Simmonds helped the Kickers by putting them on the board in the 2nd quarter bringing the score to 2-1. Luke Vercollone fired some powerful shots against Impact Keeper Chris Peter, but every one was saved. Andy McIntosh tallied one goal in an effort to keep the Kickers on their feet. To no avail the team was handed a sad 5-3 loss and an end to a great season.
The team did have a number of chances (25 shots in the 2nd half) but none of them seemed to hit their target. The large crowd of fans brought energy to the arena as they cheered on the Kickers to the final whistle. From here we wait out the month until we see the Kickers Pro team open up the USL-2 season in an exhibition against the Carolina Railhawks of USL-1 on April 4 at 7pm at Sports Backers Stadium. This will feel like the longest month ever, but it will be great to see some more great soccer in the Virginia capital!
