Richmond had a tough task ahead as they faced top of the table Charleston Battery on the road over the weekend. Still trying to find the solution to their goal-scoring problem, coach Leigh Cowlishaw started Anthony Grant up top for the Kickers. There was a change on the other end of the field as well, as goal keeper Matt Turner sat the bench in favor of newly signed Marcel Debellis.
Charleston prefers to score on the break. They have some of the lowest possession figures in the league, and yet sit atop the eastern conference standings.
