Rochester at Richmond
WHEN: Today, 7 p.m.
WHERE: City Stadium
NOTABLE: A formidable challenge awaits Richmond in the third of four games on its season-opening homestand. Rochester, conspicuously skilled, won last year's USSF Division II regular-season championship. This will be the Rhinos' first match of the season. . . . Rochester's roster includes former William and Mary standout Andrew Hoxie, a former CAA player of the year who scored 11 points for the Rhinos as a rookie in 2010. . . . Forward Matthew Delicate leads Richmond with two goals in as many matches. . . . The Rhinos lead the series 7-5-6. Although the relationship between the two clubs began in 1999, Richmond and Rochester last met in 2005 in the USL First Division semifinals. . . . A Japanese drum ensemble will perform during the match. Red Cross representatives will accept donations for earthquake and tsunami relief in Japan.
