WHAT: USL2 professional soccer match
WHEN/WHERE: Today, 7 p.m., University of Richmond Stadium
TICKETS: $12 adults, $7 (17-under)
NOTABLE: Both clubs hope to sweep away the residue created by unfulfilling opening-night performances. The Kickers (0-0-1) needed a penalty kick by David Bulow in the 50th minute to secure a 2-2 tie with Harrisburg. Pittsburgh (0-0-1) trudged through a scoreless tie against Crystal Palace Baltimore. . . . Bulow and teammate Matthew Delicate share seventh place on the Kickers' career goals list with 20. . . . Pittsburgh protects keeper Zach Varga with a defensive unit that includes Ed Hayden, 20 and a member of the Kickers' 2006 USL-2 championship team, and MSL veteran Tenywa Bonseu. . . . Richmond posted 3-1 victories in both of last year's regular-season encounters with the Riverhounds. . . . Tickets purchased in advance at www.richmondkickers.com will carry a $2 discount.
