Did
You Know? Charles Gooch of the Kansas
City Star says that former Duke CJ
Sapong (JMU 2007-10) of Sporting Kansas City is the front-runner for Major League Soccer's Rookie of the Year honor. In an Aug. 24 post on the Star's soccer blog, 'The Full 90,"
Gooch writes that the Rookie of the Year honor is "likely
between KC's "man mountain" (Sapong) or DC United defender Perry
Kitchen. I think Sapong -- with his 25
appearances, 3 goals and 4 assists -- has a slight lead at this point."
Gooch continued, "Since
preseason, it's been obvious to me that most defenders have only one resort
when dealing with Sapong -- foul him. Watch him during the next game and see
how many times the rookie has his shirt tugged or his arm grabbed. Happens
every time."
Scouting
Richmond: The Spiders, who open
regular-season play against the Dukes, compiled a 5-12-1 record last season
under coach Clint Peay, who played on four NCAA champion teams at Virginia
(1991-94). Richmond was picked to
finish 11th in the 14-team Atlantic 10 by a vote of the league's head
coaches. Peay is in his third season with
the Spiders.
The Series vs. Richmond:
JMU leads the series 15-6-4 and won the latest meeting, 2-0 in
Harrisonburg, in the 2009 season. Prior
to that the teams last played in 2000, Richmond's last season as a CAA member.
