The Kickers walked away with a 2-0 victory over the Lancers of Longwood University Sunday. The team as a whole worked hard for this win and it showed through good communication among the players throughout the match. Goals came from Matthew Delicâte in the 1st half and Ross MacKenzie in the 2nd half. Even with Longwood putting on more pressure in the 2nd half, the Kickers fought on to keep it a clean sheet. Longwood did hit the back of the net once, but it was called back due to an offside call.
This was a good outing for the new players and a few trialists. One of the players who stood out in this match was the recently signed former VCU player, Gerson Dos Santos. He brought a lot of size to the midfield and was a key playmaker in Sunday’s match. It will be interesting to see him evolve in the next couple of preseason games leading up to the home opener exhibition against USL-1 Carolina Railhawks.
