WHAT: USL-2 professional soccer match
WHEN/WHERE: Today at 7 p.m., University of Richmond Stadium
TICKETS: $12 adults, $7 (17-under)
NOTABLE: What? You again? Harrisburg and Richmond collide for the second time this season in a game that means considerably more than did the opening-night match that produced a 2-2 tie. The City Islanders have ruled USL-2 since then. They sit alone in first place with a 5-1-1 record. Sixth-place Richmond (2-1-4) trails Harrisburg by six points. Win tonight and the Kickers will reduce the gap by half. Lose and they will fall nine points off the City Islanders' torrid pace . . . Harrisburg's dominance isn't a function of smoke and mirrors. City Islanders midfielder Tiyi Shipalane was chosen as the USL-2 player of the week after scoring twice in last week's 3-2 victory over Real Maryland. Forward Chad Severs has scored six of his team's 16 goals. . . . Kickers defender Sascha Gorres was named to the USL-2 team of the week for the second time this season for his work in last week's 2-0 victory over Western Mass. . . . Richmond goalkeeper Ronnie Pascale leads the league with a goals-against average of 0.857. . . . The Kickers' W-League team, the Destiny, plays host to Hampton Roads today at 2. The Kickers' "School's Out" festival begins at UR Stadium at 4.
