A week later, Christos headed south again on I-95 to meet the Richmond Kickers of the USL with goalkeeper Phil Saunders taking player of the week honors with a 1:0 shutout of the 2nd division professional side. Saunders recorded 7 saves while Geaton Caltabiano put away the game winner in the 79th minute. A change in direction for round 3 with the side flying to the Windy City to take on Chicago United FC of the USL PDF. Levi Houapeu netted in the first minute and Saunders & Co. held on for a third shutout.
