RailHawks Tie Sounders 2-2 PDF Print E-mail

Cary, NC (Thursday, July 3rd, 2008) – The Carolina RailHawks tied the Seattle Sounders 2-2 on Thursday night in the second match of the RailHawks Independence day doubleheader. RailHawks Head Coach Scott Schweitzer promised fireworks on and off the field and the match was full of excitement. RailHawks forward Jacob Coggins scored early in the first half to put the RailHawks up 1-0 in the 12th minute. The Sounders tied it up with Sebastien Le Toux in the 45th minute sending the teams to the locker room tied 1-1. In the second half Kenji Treschuk of the Sounders scored in the 69th minute to put Seattle on top 2-1. A corner in the 87th minute allowed RailHawks Defender David Stokes to put one past Sounders goalkeeper Chris Eylander to fix the result at 2-2.

The end of the match was full of sparks as the RailHawks continued to search for a game winner with  Connally Edozien and Dan Antoniuk both having serious opportunities thwarted by the Sounders’ defense in the 90th minute.

“Both teams played a great game tonight,” said RailHawks Head Coach Scott Schweitzer. “It  was great for our fans to see the exciting brand of soccer we played. Now we have to show them we can finish as we had at least two opportunities late in the game. The only team that can beat us right now is ourselves and we will work on that.”
