Rick Wright’s Greenville Beat Charlotte
Rick Wright’s Greenville Triumph returned to the top of the USL Championship after a 2-0 win at home to Charlotte Independence yesterday [June 19].
Goals from Lyam MacKinnon in the ninth minute and Evan Lee in the 84th handed Greenville the victory.
Bermudian Wright told the club’s website: “We made a little adjustment in the middle of the second half, played a little simpler, and tried to move the ball around more and the result showed.
“The guys felt the game well and put in a great effort tonight.”
A former Saltus Grammar School student, Wright made appearances for the Bermuda and United States national teams.
He was appointed head coach of Greenville at the start of the season, having served as assistant coach for several years.
Greenville are away to One Knoxville SC in the league on Saturday [June 22].
