Tyler Lassiter, who played for CASL from a young age and at Wake Forest Rolesville HS then NC State and now with the NY Red Bulls (after being drafted #30 overall in the MLS draft last winter), will be with the Railhawks the rest of their season. The Red Bulls loaned Tyler to the Railhawks to get him more playing time and experience. The Railhawks have taken a hit in the back with players moving to European clubs and injuries. Tyler will help shore up the defense for the NASL leading Railhawks.
With 5 games remaining, the Railhawks have clinched the #1 or 2 seed which puts them in the semifinal round. They are 7 points ahead of the Puerto Rico Islanders with 5 games to play (one of those games is at Puerto Rico). Their magic number is 9 points (points gained by the Railhawks or points lost by the Islanders) to clinch the #1 seed.
The Railhawks play at WakeMed Soccer Stadium this Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rowdies at 7 pm. It is important for player development that players see high level soccer and it is abundant in the area with the Railhawks and the great men's and women's collegiate programs in this area.....my advice to you: GO TAKE IN A GAME(S)!!!!
Railhawk season ticket info for 2012 is now on their web site-check it out!
