Tanner Wolfe was inserted into the starting lineup on Saturday night and made Coach Irving look like a genius. Already with a 2-0 lead going into halftime, the Hammerheads showed no signs of letting up early into the second half. After a shot from midfielder Luke Mulholland in the 47th minute ricocheted off the crossbar, Wolfe's reaction sent his body into flight. He left his feet and connected on a diving header, beating the outstretched arms of the Charlotte goalkeeper who left his feet as well while attempting to make the save.
The goal was Tanner's first of his professional career and you could see the joy in his eyes while being congratulated by his teammates. The link below has a great shot of the goal and celebration, plus a post-game interview with the man himself.

The Wilmington Hammerheads have now received goals from 14 different players this season. That amount of depth and confidence from the players will really help them going into the final stretch of the season. Their recent win over Charlotte also put them into a tie for 2nd place in the American Division with the Richmond Kickers. Both teams now sit at 10-6-3 and 33 points through 19 games.
New York Update: Yesterday a few of the guys took the train into Manhattan and I got to know them a little better. Some of them had never been to the "city that never sleeps" so it was cool to see their reactions in the ever so entertaining and energetic environment. I'll be at the game tonight to support the team and take some pics so check back in on Saturday for a full post game write-up along with pics....and possible some video. Go Hammerheads!
