Chattanooga Red Wolves defender Richard Dixon has already shown his versatility by assisting on the professional soccer team’s first goal of the preseason.The goal is simple for Eamon Zayed and the Chattanooga Red Wolves.
Produce an entertaining style of soccer and raise the trophy at the end of the inaugural season of USL League One.
“We are a team full of proven winners,” said Zayed, who once earned the nickname “Mr. Hat Trick” and ranks among the League of Ireland’s top 15 all-time scorers. “We are here to win the whole thing and score a lot of goals.”
With the Red Wolves’ regular-season opener set for March 30 at North Texas SC in the Dallas area, they’ll try to end their preseason schedule strong in Saturday’s 10:45 a.m. exhibition against back-to-back USL Cup winners Louisville City at Chattanooga Christian School’s David Stanton Field.
Although the Chattanooga team is in its first year, the Red Wolves are led by a veteran coach, Tim Hankinson, and have a roster with experienced players. They hope their potential to score from all over the field will keep opposing defenders on their heels.
