Philly Leader

Andrew Rick, a homegrown player for the Philadelphia Union, was recognized for an impressive save during the month of March, which fans voted as "The Philadelphia Inquirer Save of March." His performance came during a match against St. Louis CITY SC, where his save was pivotal in maintaining the team's momentum during the international window.

The critical moment unfolded when Simon Becher pursued a long ball, causing Rick to move off his line. Becher then executed a backheel pass to Cedric Teuchert, who was on a delayed run. In a swift response, Rick managed to recover his position and used his glove to deflect Teuchert's shot wide of the goal, securing his team’s defense.

Rick's effort was particularly significant as it marked his only appearance for the month, leaving a lasting impression on both the fans and his teammates. This recognition reflects his contribution to the team's performance, illustrating his skills and potential as a key player for the Union.
