Road to the Home Opener


The Kickers came out strong against VCU on Tuesday, with Ben Hunter tallying two goals (one from a PK) and Fabian Dawkins scoring one, all in the first half. VCU was unable to score until late in the match and played two men down due to red cards. The final score of this scrimmage was 3-1.

This match was one of the most physical matches the team has seen all preseason. Two VCU players were ejected with after receiving two yellow cards each. VCU wasn’t alone in the card count, with Kickers players Mike Burke and Fakundo Herrera picking up one yellow each.

This was the last preseason game before the team takes on the Carolina Railhawks Saturday at 7pm at Sports Backers Stadium.

Come out tonight to Home Team Grill in the Fan for a viewing party as the U.S. Men’s National Team takes on Trinidad and Tobago in World Cup Qualifier at 7pm. Meet Kickers players and enjoy specials at the Kickers’ new Official Post Game Party Spot!
