Bridgewater hands men's soccer first loss of 2018

Box Score

Lynchburg, Va. -- University of Lynchburg's men's soccer team saw its bid for an undefeated regular season thwarted Saturday night with a 2-0 Old Dominion Athletic Conference loss to Bridgewater on Senior Night.

Lynchburg out-shot the visiting Eagles by a 14-7 count and took 11 corner kicks to Bridgewater's one. BC goalkeeper Quentin Boric made six saves.

The loss ended a three-game Lynchburg winning streak against the Eagles, dating back to 2014.

It was also fifth-ranked Lynchburg's first loss in nearly a calendar year, the last coming Nov. 12, 2017 in the second round of the NCAA tournament (1-0 vs. Emory U.).

Records: Bridgewater (9-5-1, 6-2-1 ODAC), No. 5 Lynchburg (11-1-2, 7-1-1 ODAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
