Box score
ANDERSON, S.C. - Anderson senior Lasse Sohrweide notched a pair
of goals inside the final ten minutes, as the Anderson men's soccer
team outpaced Carson-Newman, 3-1, in South Atlantic Conference
action Saturday afternoon at Trojan Stadium.
Anderson (5-2, 2-0 SAC) won its third straight and has claimed
wins in five of its last six outings. The Trojans extended their
home win streak to 10 and have won 11 of 12 matches in the friendly
confines of Trojan Stadium. Carson-Newman (2-4, 1-1 SAC) has
dropped lost three of its last four contests.
Anderson senior midfielder Mark Smith found the back of the net
from close range in the 32nd minute, giving the Trojans a 1-0 lead.
Sohrweide earned his team-leading seventh assist on the score.
With each team battling to gain an advantage, Carson-Newman's
Robert Hill evened the score by capitalizing on a blocked shot and
his attempt from nearly point-blank range from five yards in front
of the goal found its way through a crowd for the Eagles' score at
58:47.
AU reclaimed the lead in the 80th minute, when senior defender
Aldo Lopez-Gil drew defenders by racing down the right side of the
pitch and dished the ball to Sohrweide, whose shot rolled just to
the left of the onrushing Eagle goalkeeper and into the net.
Less than two minutes later, Sohrweide added an insurance goal
off a free kick from 25 yards away to give Anderson the two-goal
lead.
Each team posted 13 shots on the afternoon, with AU holding an
11-7 edge in shots on goal. The Trojans garnered three corner kicks
to Carson-Newman's two. Junior net-minder Lukas Hesse recorded the
win for the Trojans, while collecting six hard-earned saves, many
just in front of the AU goal. C-N keeper Michael Alley absorbed the
loss, while going the distance.
Anderson closes out its four-match homestand by playing host to
Conference Carolinas opponent Lees-McRae on Wednesday. Kick-off is
scheduled for 4 p.m. at Trojan Stadium
