The Wilmington Hammerheads opened the 2001 season in a positive but disappointing manor this past weekend. In Charlotte the Hammerheads dominated the first half of the game, out shooting the Eagles 6 to 3 and racking up 7 corners to the Eagles 2. In the 75th minute Dustin Swinehart added his first of two goals for the game, off an assist by Marcleo Gonzalez. Swinehart scored again four minutes later to finish off the Hammerheads 4-0.
