Tanner Wolfe Contributes, Immediately!

Right now the Carolina Dynamo sit in 5th place of the Mid Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference. With 10 games played, their record stands at 4-4-2. They've scored 22 goals(2nd most in the division) but have also given up 19 goals, which is the 3rd most in their division. Only the top two teams qualify for the playoffs so the Dynamo definitely need to step their game up if they plan on having a successful run at the PDL Championship.

Richard Jata has been playing a variety of positions, but has yet to net his first goal of the season. He's getting limited minutes and is still trying to find his role in the system. Someone who seems to be fitting in quite well is Tanner Wolfe. Richard's best friend and former A-Sun Conference rival led the Dynamo to a 2-1 win Saturday night against the West Virginia Chaos. He played phenomenally, scoring a goal in both the first and second half.

The team does not play again until July 8th, when they will take on West Virginia again in a rematch at Schoenbaum Stadium. There are only 6 games left on the schedule so they must finish strong if they have any intentions of making it to the playoffs.

Soccer Is A Part Of Life...

After a brief layoff from the sport, Richard Jata has returned! Having previously played for the Carolina Dynamo, Jata was welcomed back with open arms. The Dynamo started out their 2010 season with a 1-1 tie and a 4-0 defeat, but since Jata's arrival the team is on a roll, winning 3 of their last 4 matches. Richard notched his first assist on a Scott Rojo goal in the teams 4-1 victory over the Hampton Roads Piranhas. He started the first 3 games as a sub, but finally got his first start of the season last Sunday against the Ironbound Express. He played 62 minutes, leaving with a minor injury to his foot. Richard said that his foot is fine and he's looking forward to contributing to the teams success in the near future!

The Dynamo's next game is at home, on June 12th, against Hampton Roads Piranhas.

Kickoff is set for 7:30pm!
