NEWBERRY, S.C. - Using a pair of first-half goals, the Anderson
men's soccer team snapped a four-game winless streak by outpacing
Newberry, 2-1, in South Atlantic Conference action Wednesday
afternoon at the Newberry College Soccer Field.
Anderson (2-8-2, 2-3-1 SAC) earned its first road win of the
season, while Newberry (3-7-1, 0-5-1 SAC) suffered its second
consecutive setback and has dropped four of its last five.
Sophomore Tapiwa Munetsi's first goal of the season gave the
Trojans an early 1-0 lead off a corner kick from teammate Zak Moss
in the sixth minute of action and the 5-foot-8 forward followed
with an assist at the 26:34 mark, finding midfielder Martin Brain
with a low cross. Brain's shot from 10 yards away found the back of
the net and turned out to be his first game-winning score of the
season.
Less than four minutes later, Newberry's Colt Priest trimmed the
Trojan lead to 2-1 with his first goal of the season.
Both offensive attacks kept the pressure on the goalkeepers, as
the teams combined for a total of 29 shots on the afternoon, with
the Trojans equaling their season high with 17 attempts.
Anderson out-shot Newberry, 17-12, and held a 7-3 advantage in
corner kicks.
Anderson goalkeeper Lukas Hesse went the distance between the
pipes, garnering a pair of saves while picking up the win. The
Wolves Patrick Sweatt recorded three saves and absorbed the
loss.
Anderson returns to the friendly confines of Trojan Stadium on
Saturday to play host to league-leading Wingate. Kick-off is
scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
