VCU leads 2-1 at halftime. Currently in a lightning delay of at least 30 minutes before 2nd half starts.

 

Marco Milanese scored Zips goal on a header off of a Colin Biros corner kick.

Still in weather delay.

[Zip_ME87]

Still in lightning delay and Richmond forecast does not look good through midnight.

What happens if they can’t continue?  Would they resume it later?   Akron would get a loss or would it not count?

Per the box score, they were actually 10 seconds apart.  Wow!
