Brief summary
by Tim Kassel

The rainy weather on Saturday night did not hamper the Williamsburg Legacy’s first game of their inaugural PDL season against Greenville Lions Premier of South Carolina. The Legacy recorded their very first victory ever in a 6-0 shoot-out over the Lions in front of 193 fans at Busch Field in Williamsburg, Va.

It didn’t take long for the Legacy to get on the scoreboard as player/coach Richard Butler scored the very first goal in Legacy history on a forty-yard bomb in the first minute of the game. The Legacy continued their goal scoring when Randy Ugarte, off an assist from Brian Wells, scored a goal in the 16th minute. The Legacy continued to pressure the Lions for the entire first half.

Leading the way in the second half was forward Carlos Garcia who recorded a hat trick. Garcia’s first goal came in the 64th minute on a free kick from just outside the eighteen-yard box. Two minutes later the Legacy scored again as Randy Ugarte sent a ball to Garcia, who scored again. In the 84th minute, off an assist from player/coach Johnny Kamara, Garcia scored his final goal of the game. Bobby O’Brien, who came on late in the second half, closed out the scoring for the Legacy.

In goal for the Lions were Richard Gilstrap and Alex Hall.

The Lions had several chances on goal, with their offensive power provided by Rory Scovel, Dustin Hammond, and Seth Jensen. However, the Legacy defense led by Kris Feldmann and Milorad Djordjevic, denied the Lions on all scoring opportunities. Legacy goalkeeper Noah Palmer recorded the shutout with 3 saves.

The Legacy next takes on the Hampton Roads Mariners of the A-League in a scrimmage on Wednesday, May 8 at 7 p.m. at Christopher Newport College in Newport News Va.  The Legacy goes on the road to take on Raleigh CASL Elite for their next game on Friday, May 10 at 7:30.
