Finishing touches lacking as Carolina ties Portland

USLLIVE/ WEB—Although the RailHawks are now in command of the league table with 10 points in four outings, it’s a bit worrisome that they’ve scored only four goals in four games. Fortunately, an airtight defense, led by the central trio of Mark Schulte, Jack Stewart and Amir Lowery, hasn’t given up a goal since the season opener against Minnesota. Schulte and Lowery, furthermore, have played every minute of the season, with Stewart just a half-hour behind.
Last night, with a perfect nine points in three games, the RailHawks went to Portland for the first of two fixtures against the Portland Timbers. In a hard-fought, foul-heavy contest, the apparently tiring ’Hawks held off their hosts in the second half to escape with a point for the 0-0 draw.
