RIFC awaken in Oakland

Goals from Albert Dikwa, Clay Holstad, and JJ Williams carried RIFC to their first victory of 2025. All 3 goals occured in the last 10 minutes of the first half, stunning the home side Oakland Roots.

Khano Smith deployed and extremely aggressive and attacking gameplan that paid immediate dividends. Williams, Dikwa, Noah Fuson, Clay Holstad, and Jojea Kwizera all started and Oakland had no answer to the tactics and talent RIFC threw at them.

Clay Holstad seemed to be on the right, playing as a RWB, RM position and he often found himself with acres of space to pick and choose his options as he registered another Holstad stunner and an assist.

RIFC once again finds themselves right in the mix in the Eastern Conference and now wait for their highly anticipated match in the 3rd round of the US Open Cup, which takes place Tuesday, April 15th.
