ANDERSON, S.C. - Junior Lars Zimmerman's 17th minute goal proved
to the game-winner as Anderson University men's soccer picked up a
1-0 shutout over Tusculum in South Atlantic Conference action
Saturday afternoon at Trojan Stadium.
The triumph snaps a three-match winless streak and moves the
Trojans to 4-5 overall with a 3-2 mark in the conference. On the
other side, the setback drops the Pioneers to 3-5-1 on the season
with a 1-3-1 mark for the SAC.
Despite winning on the scoreboard, AU was outshot by the
visitors, 16-7, headlined by a 10-shot performance in the final 45
minutes by the Pioneers. For Anderson, junior Andre Carle led the
way with four shots for the match, while Zimmerman, Alex Delpy and
substitute Magnus Larsen all claimed a single shot on the
afternoon.
After a back-and-forth start to the match, the Trojans were
awarded a corner kick in the 17th minute. Delpy sent the cross into
the Tusculum box where he found an open Carle. Carle's touch found
the head and Zimmerman who knocked his shot off the right post and
into the back of the net. For Zimmerman, the goal was his first of
the 2014 campaign after entering the match with nine career
goals.
On the goal, Carle added his second assist on the year as he
continues to lead the team in points with eight, while Delpy
tallied his first assist on the year.
With the goal in hand, the Anderson backline, consisting of

Wright, limited Tusculum to just three shots on goal. Sophomore
goalkeeper Bo Haug closed the afternoon with three saves earning
his fourth clean sheet of the season. With the shutout, the
sophomore reached double figures in shutouts for his career with
