The team played a great match Saturday and if they go to the confidence they had, they could potentially win. Charleston is not an easy place to play. Charleston has a good team and Blackbaud is a great stadium. It will be a tough task, but the Kickers have had a decent road record this season and could come back with a W.

It would be nice to bring another Championship to the River City even though no one in the city cares that we have a team that wins, and consistently.
