The Carolina RailHawks (6-4-6, 24 pts) fell to the Rochester Rhinos (9-5-6, 33 pts) 1-0 on Tuesday night. The RailHawks were unable to equalize after an own goal from the RailHawks’ Matt Bobo in the 68th minute.
“We didn’t take our chances,” said RailHawks head coach Martin Rennie. “We had a key chance just before they scored and we missed an open shot, and the game changes when they score. That’s what it came down to, because we possessed well, and played reasonably well. But if you don’t take your chances, and give the other team a goal, this is what happens.”
