DUE WEST, S.C. -- Anderson and nearby rival Erskine battled to a
2-2 draw in Conference Carolinas men's soccer action Wednesday
night at Huggins Field. Early in the first frame, sophomore Mark
Smith dribbled down the left side and drew a foul in the box,
allowing teammate Lasse Sohrweide to bang home his third penalty
kick of the season to give AU the early 1-0 lead. Later in the
half, Ben Jones found Sorhrweide, whose left-footed volley found
the back of the net, giving the Trojans a 2-0 advantage. But
Erskine answered with a score of its own on a cross to the box and
the teams went to intermission with AU holding a 2-1 lead.
Unfortunately for AU, the Flying Fleet scored in the second half
off a corner kick and the two squads battled scoreless through the
remainder of the two-overtime contest. The Trojans remain
undefeated on the season, moving to 6-0-1 overall and 2-0-1 in the
conference, while the Flying Fleet is 1-5-2 and 0-2-1 in Conference
Carolinas' play. Anderson is now 5-0-3 versus their closest rival
over the past eight seasons with the last loss coming during the
2001 campaign. Anderson wraps up the brief conference road swing
with a match at Pfeiffer on Saturday, Sept. 26. Kick-off is slated
for 2 p.m. at N.E. Lefko Field.
