it was a great game. lots of people, lots of money for a good cause, and nice for a change to cheer for both teams! that kid #12 for tech was awesome. and he's only a sophmore.

also, it was cool to see shramm #9 (schramm can also be used as a verb, such as "man, charlotte just got schrammed!" so i'm hoping he gets more playing time) and #20 who i thought was bulow but now i don't think so. i thought i heard the announcer say freddy smith? somebody fill me in. we seem to have an endless amount of good/fast/talented mid-fielders/forwards. jaman played well, too. i could go on and on.

any of you guys thinking about going down to wilmington on saturday?

You are right, #20 was Freddy Smith.

We had 3 new guys last night:

#25 - Garth Juckem (who started)
#20 - Wilfred (Freddy) Smith (came in for Burke at the start of the 2nd)
#4 - Eric Szeszycki (came in for Juckem in the 80 minute

I read about the match and it's good to see the Kickers honoring VT. I'm glad to see soccer(both Richmond and MLS Houston) reaching out to help VT.

It's good to hear from you Amanda! You're only far away in distance. We know you are still here in spirit! (By the way, does Clint know?)

It was a fun experience last night and the mood was great. I had many people (like Suz!) "overpay" their ticket price to increase their donation. I'm very proud of the Kickers and the fans for making the night a success!

Looks like the Kickers raised more than the Dynamo (not that this is a competition, but kudos to the Kickers staff and everyone who came the other night). From HokieSports.com:
Pro soccer clubs raise nearly $40,000 for Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund
Men's soccer team battles Richmond Kickers before 4,000 fans

My match photos are up:
http://public.fotki.com/pattiea/soc/2007/070501/

I'm selling these just above cost (that way, Fotki tells me I have to upload the full-size original if anyone places an order), so if you purchase photos from this album, please consider making a donation to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund:

Photos are finally up

05012007 Kickers vs Va Tech - Exhibition

These are strictly game photos. I do have photos from warm-up, crowd shots, player introductions, presentation of the plaque, etc, that I will eventually get uploaded also - though probably in their own album.

I wasn't that happy with these photos overall though I did manage to luck out and get some fairly good shots too
