The Carolina RailHawks opened the 2013 NASL season in the newly renovated WakeMed Soccer Park stadium, which has added 3,000 permanent seats, bringing seating capacity to near 10,000. Half of those went into the north end zone and the other half to upper-level stands on the east side of the stadium. The town of Cary funded the $6.3 million expansion project that also included a new three-story building on the east side to provide restrooms, concessions and access to the additional seating from the third level…..Charlotte Catholic senior Jane Cline scored four goals to lead her team to an 8-4 win over Weddington in the N.C. 3A quarterfinals of the NCHSAA state playoffs.

Next up is a cross-country trip to Oregon for a May 29 meeting with the Portland Timbers of MLS at JELD-WEN Field. Richard Isberner scored the game-winner against Austin on a penalty kick goal. Aztex goalkeeper Devin Cook came off his line to stop Hammerheads forward Steven Perry on a breakaway, taking him down in the box in the 68th minute of play. That earned Cook a red card ejection and Austin played the rest of the game with only 10 players.
