Appalachian FC beat Metro Louisville FC 3-1 at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex in Boone June 5, securing the first win in club history.
“It’s an amazing feeling. We’ve been waiting a long time for this,” head coach Dale Parker said. “It’s a big three points. That’s the most important thing and doing it in the way we did in front of the fans, it almost felt like it was worth 100 points.”
AFC began the match conceding two free kicks in the 11th and 13th minutes, but AFC goalkeeper Niclas Wild blocked both shots with a leaping save on the first free kick and punched the ball out toward his defenders to clear the second free kick.
