Wolfe & Seabrook Add Goals vs. UNC-Pembroke

The Hammerheads traveled to UNC-Pembroke for their 4th preseason game on Tuesday night. There were both old and new contributors this time. The final score was 4-1, with the Hammerheads finally giving up their first goal of the preseason. Chris Banks and Jyler Noviello scored again, but Jordan Seabrook and the recently acquired Tanner Wolfe also put the ball in the back of the net. Right now it looks as if Wilmington will have several threats at the attacking end. They extended their preseason goals scored total to 12, while holding all 4 opponents to just 1. The team will have one week off before playing their next game against UNC Wilmington on March 30th. This game should be fun for some of the players who played their college ball at the local college. Jordan Seabrook played his college ball at USF and participated in the 2009 Adidas MLS Player Combine alongside Richard. He was selected 51st by the Colorado Rapids, but was released before the start of the season. Tanner Wolfe played his college ball at Stetson University, consistently battling Richard year in and year out for the top spot in the Atlantic Sun Conference. While at college, Tanner tallied 33 goals and 18 assists leaving him 5th all-time in points at Stetson. Richard and Tanner are longtime friends and played high school ball together their senior year for Ridgewood High School in Port Richey, Florida.

UPDATE - It looks as if Seabrook's glory will be short-lived because most of the trialists are heading home. Tanner Wolfe, however, is staying put!

THIS JUST IN - Tanner Wolfe, Kyle Polak and Diego Barrerra were officially added to the roster, pending USL and USSF approval. Each of these players had a successful college career and played either semi-pro or pro ball in recent years. Wolfe has scoring potential at either outside mid or forward, Polak will most likely assume the backup GK role and Barrerra should fit in somewhere towards in the middle/back. I'm assuming the team is nearing 20 players by now, so it will be interesting to see how much more they can do based on funds. I'm also not sure if Alex Grendi has, or will be signing in the near future.
