Box Score Box score

BREVARD, N.C. - Despite a 58th minute goal from freshman Grayson Frye, Anderson University men's soccer allowed two unanswered goals in the final half and dropped a South Atlantic Conference contest to Brevard, 2-1, Wednesday afternoon at Brevard Soccer Field.

With the setback, the Trojans move to 2-3-1 overall and 1-2 in conference play, while the Tornados claim their second straight victory and improve to 2-5 on the season with a 2-1 mark in the SAC.

AU managed seven shots for the match, as senior Hodaka Yonezawa and newcomer Erik Dahlbeck led the way with two shots apiece. Frye, who scored his first collegiate goal, made the most of his only shot of the contest, while Brad Du Plooy and Lars Kaula each tallied a shot.

After the teams played to a 0-0 halftime score, Frye broke the scoreless stretch in the 58th minute when he headed in a corner kick from Nicholas Bang. For Bang, the assist was his second of the season, giving him the team lead in the category. With the goal, Frye becomes the eighth different goal scorer for the Black and Gold this season.

A minute later, Brevard answered when Gabriel Garcia converted a penalty kick following a Trojan handball inside the 18-yard box. The goal was Garcia's third of the season, which leads the Tornados.

In the 74th minute, BC put the match out of reach when Ryan McPhillips grabbed a pass from Chris Efenecy and slotted in a shot past Anderson goalkeeper Devon Ashy for the eventual game-winning goal. For McPhillips, the goal was his first of the season.

Anderson failed to record another shot for the remainder of the contest, as the Tornado backline held the visitors to just one shot on goal for the afternoon. Ashy suffered the setback, making three saves for the match, while Brevard goalkeeper, Heath Turner, did not record a save.

The Trojans look to get back on the winning track on Saturday when they travel to Tusculum. Kick-off is scheduled for 6 p.m.
