The Colorado Rapids USL affiliate Charlotte Independence had a busy past week playing two away games, drawing both.
The first match took place last Tuesday at Legion Stadium in Wilmington, North Carolina against Hammerheads FC. Charlotte Forward Brian Brown found the back of the net for the Independence in the 43rd minute, and excellent goalkeeping in the final stages from Cody Mizell preserved the draw and the five match unbeaten streak.
The second match saw the Independence travel to Rochester on Saturday to take on last year’s champions, the Rhinos. Both sides traded opportunities in a hard-fought 0-0 match with the best chance of the night coming off a chip from David Estrada that hit the crossbar.
