RICHMOND, VA - The Richmond Kickers Destiny return to the University of Richmond Stadium this Saturday, July 11th to host the Tampa Bay Hellenic in their final regular season home game. The match kicks off at 2:00 p.m. and marks the first leg of a doubleheader with the Richmond Kickers pro team. Tickets for the doubleheader are just $5.00 for both matches, when purchased at the gate before 3:00 p.m.

The Destiny and the Hellenic met last weekend in Tampa, when the Destiny suffered a 4-0 loss. One week prior, the Destiny notched their first win of the season in a closely contested 1-0 affair against the Northern Virginia Majestics. Minutes after entering the game, forward Colleen Schohl notched the game-winner for the Destiny, courtesy of a Sarah Hilt assist.

Making five saves on the night, goalkeeper Allie Albright was voted player of the match by coach Jen Woodie. The former Collegiate School netminder stopped a 1v1 breakaway to preserve the Destiny’s first win and first shutout of the season.

With the win, the Destiny rallied out of last place in the Atlantic Division standings and now hold four points going into Saturday’s match.
Battling for playoff contention, the Hellenic reside at the top of the table with a 6-1-2 record and 20 points. The Hellenic travel to Northern Virginia one night later to conclude their 2009 regular season while the Destiny finish up their campaign on the road to Hampton Roads on Wednesday, July 15th.
