LC Men's Soccer drops close match to Emory University

LYNCHBURG, VA - Despite plenty of offensive pressure, Lynchburg men's soccer (3-2) dropped a close match to Emory University by a score of 1-0 at Shellenberger Field on Sunday.

Emory sophomore Alex Scott netted the only goal of the match at 23:01 off of a corner kick for the Eagles. Despite 14 shots by Lynchburg, Emory turned away any scoring opportunity for the Hornets.

The match did feature freshman goalie Michael Releford (Blacksburg, VA/Blacksburg) who relieved sophomore goalie Michael Henry (Virginia Beach, VA/Bayside) at halftime.  Henry had three saves in the contest and Releford had two stops in his impressive Hornet debut.

Junior Emory goalie Trenton Spindler had six saves in the game.

Lynchburg men's soccer hosts Virginia Wesleyan Wednesday on Shellenberger Field at 7:00 p.m.
