TAMPA, FL -- The Tampa Bay Hellenic completed a successful weekend on Father’s Day, recording a 1-0 victory over the visiting Carolina RailHawks at Ed Radice Sports Complex.

The Hellenic (6-3-0, 18 pts) and RailHawks (4-3-1, 13 pts) battled through a scoreless first half with goalkeepers Mallori Lofton-Malachi (Tampa Bay) and Molly Baird (Carolina) recording five and four saves respectively.

Once the second half started, Tampa Bay continued to attack the Carolina goal, and were rewarded in the 68th minute as midfielder Staci Wilson sprung Lindsay Brauer with a great through ball. Brauer took a few dribbles into the center of the field, and unleashed a shot towards the left post, recording her first goal of the season.

That goal was all the Hellenic would need, as they held the RailHawks to just one shot in the second half.

The Hellenic will be back in action on Saturday, Jun. 28, when they host the Carolina Dynamo at Ed Radice Sports Complex at 8 p.m.
