Game Notes

              It was a tough 6-1 loss for the Riverhawks against NJCAA DIII Region XX Nighthawks of Northern Virginia Community College on Saturday afternoon. Despite 7 corner kicks and multiple scoring opportunities in the first half, it was the Nighthawks who were able to find the net twice – taking a 2-0 lead.  

              As frustrations and fouls began to multiply – Ryan Gruss (Pasadena, MD/Chesapeake) was able to capitalize on a penalty kick opportunity cutting the Nighthawk lead to just 1.
