LIONSBRIDGE'S DREAM SEASON ENDS SUDDENLY IN PLAYOFFS
After an undefeated regular season (16-0-2), a Chesapeake Division championship, capturing the Coastal Virginia Challenge Cup and a wave of extraordinary fan support all season long, Lionsbridge came into the USL League Two playoffs riding high as the tournament's top overall seed and one of just four unbeaten teams out of USL League Two's 113 teams.
More than a year had passed since Lionsbridge experienced defeat, but it only took 90 minutes for Lionsbridge's dream season to come to an abrupt halt at the hands of Vermont Green FC, 2-1. Lionsbridge came out firing on all cylinders creating a bevy of chances, particularly in the game's opening 20 minutes. Numerous golden opportunities fell by the wayside. Against the run of play, Vermont scored in the 38th minute on a counter-attacking opportunity to stun the home crowd. But Lionsbridge evened the score just before halftime when Maxi Hopfer was taken down inside the box and Sam Hall converted the penalty for his team-leading 9th goal of the season.
With more than 30 minutes left in the second half, a Vermont Green player was sent off with a second yellow card giving LBFC a man advantage for about 1/3 of the game. Despite the edge, just four minutes later, Vermont re-claimed the lead and held on from there. Lionsbridge could not breakthrough again despite numerous corner kicks, throw-in opportunities and set pieces where Lionsbridge had been lethal throughout the season.
Lionsbridge finished its most successful season in its five-year history with a 16-1-2 record, a Chesapeake Division Championship, a Coastal Virginia Challenge Cup and new single-game and season attendance records.
