Ballard FC are USL League 2 champions in just their second season of existence following a thrilling 2-1 win over Virginia’s Lionsbridge FC in front of 3,416 fans at Starfire Stadium on Saturday. The winning goal came off what was essentially the last play of the game, a 94th-minute free kick that Peter Kingston put into the box. Although a Lionsbridge defender appeared to get the last touch, the free kick was deemed to have been goal-bound anyway and was officially credited to Kingston, who was one of three Ballard starters who had previously spent time in the Sounders Academy.
