WHAT: USL-2 professional soccer match
WHEN/WHERE: Today at 7 p.m., University of Richmond Stadium
TICKETS: $12 adults, $7 (17-under)
NOTABLE: Richmond must be wary as it prepares for the third of four consecutive home matches. Yes, the Kickers (1-1-4) rang up their only victory of the season at Western Mass' expense earlier this month. But the Pioneers (1-4-0) added another layer of mystery to an inscrutable USL-2 season by defeating the then-league-leading Wilmington Hammerheads last week . . . The Kickers are still searching for a solution to their home-field woes: four ties in as many matches . . . Kickers midfielder Gerson dos Santos and defender Kelvin Jones sustained head wounds in last week's deadlock against Crystal Palace Baltimore. Dos Santos is doubtful for tonight's contest. Jones is probable . . . Richmond forward Matthew Delicate ranks among the league's top five in goals (3) and points (7) . . . Midfielder Yan Klukowski leads the Pioneers with four points (a goal and two assists) . . . Tonight is SPCA Dog Night at UR Stadium. Pet-friendly VIP tickets purchased before noon today (www.richmondkickers.com) will permit fans to bring their dogs into a designated seating area within the stadium. - Vic Dorr Jr.
