The Richmond Kickers saw their US Open Cup hopes dashed this Tuesday after a rain-soaked 2-1 loss to USL First Division side Carolina Railhawks. Despite a good team effort by the Kickers to come from behind and tie the scoreline at one apiece at the half, an early second half strike from the men in orange proved to be too much. But the Kickers will take the loss in stride and shift their focus solely on the USL Division II title. Following their 5-0 rout of league leaders Harrisburg last Saturday, the Kickers jumped up the table four spots from seventh to third. The men in red and white will look to edge even closer to the top as they hit the road over the next couple weeks, the game against the Railhawks marking the first of a five-game road trip. The Kickers will return home just in time for an Independence Day face-off against the Charlotte Eagles. Hope to see you there!
