Men's Soccer Gains Big Win at No. 8 Lincoln Memorial (9-28-08)
HARROGATE,
TN - It was a classic case of David vs. Goliath as
Georgetown College knocked off NCAA Division II
eighth-ranked Lincoln Memorial University on the road Saturday.
The loss drops the Railsplitters to 7-2-1 on the year and marks
the first time since August 26, 2007 that the Railsplitters have
lost a home match. The loss was also the Railsplitters first
loss on the new LMU soccer field. The Tigers improved to
5-2 on the season.
The Railsplitters came out with a strong offensive attack and
narrowly missed paydirt on several occasions. The
closest opportunity for a goal came in the early minutes when
Adam
Huber hit the cross bar in the
fourteenth minute of the match. Despite the LMU attack,
Georgetown managed to generate several runs and finally broke
the Railsplitter defensive effort at the 27:00 minute mark when
Aaaron Vossmer scored
unassisted to Head Coach
Derek Willis
give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. LMU trailed until
the forty-third minute when
defender Felipe Nogueira scored on a direct kick to even the
match at 1-1, taking the tie into the second half.
Both the Railsplitters and the Tigers struggled through a
defensive battle that lasted most of the second half. Numerous
cards were issued to individuals from both teams before
Georgetown senior forward Alex
Butt used a Jarrod
Willough/Aaron Vossmer
pass in the eightieth minute to break the tie and eventually
give the Tigers the upset victory over the Lincoln Memorial
University men.
Head Coach Derek Willis says it is a more than a big win for
his team. "This is something we can build the program on."
The Tigers take to the road today to take on conference-rival
Campbellsville. The doubleheader will begin at 2:00 with the
women, followed by the men at 4:00.
