September 14, 2022 – United Soccer League One (USL1) – Union Omaha News Release
PREVIEW: RICHMOND KICKERS
It’s a tough team coming into Omaha tomorrow, as the league’s best offense will challenge the league’s best defense. The offense is headlined by League One’s all-time highest scorer Emiliano Terzaghi, who has scored 15 goals on the season to-date. Jonathan Bolanos and Michael Bennett help to bolster the offensive production, with the former leading the league in assists.
