Box Score
SEWANEE, Tenn. (Sept. 13, 2015) – Behind a season-high three goals and 23 shots, the Sewanee men's soccer team got a win with a 3-2 victory over LaGrange, Sunday, at Puett Field.
The Tigers are now 2-2-1 overall early this season.
Sewanee quickly got on the board after a fury of attempts. After four shots in the first 15 minutes, Sewanee scored when freshman Kyle Johnston blasted a deep shot into the left corner of the goal.
After five more Sewanee shots, Johnston was at again. After a LaGrange foul, sophomore Ryan MacDonald served a well-place ball into the box where Johnston headed it home.
The Panthers got its first goal late in the opening half, as Kristian Javier used a bicycle kick to score in the 36th minute.
The score remained at 2-1 until the 77th minute. After a LaGrange sent a cross in front of the net, Adam Curry found the loose ball and knocked in the equalizer.
However, just when it looked like Sewanee would play its second overtime match in as many days, the Tigers stayed on the attack.
After a long pass was played into the corner, Ramsey Seagle played a shot that was blocked around LaGrange keeper AJ Wilson. On the ensuing rebound, Max Hawes slid in and redirected the ball into the back of the net for the game-winner.
Overall, Sewanee outshot the Panthers 23-10. The Tigers also led in corners by three, 5-2.
Freshman keeper Will Merriman finished with four saves while Johnston led the offense with seven shots.
Sewanee returns to action with a 6:00 p.m. (EST) match at Maryville, Tuesday. This will mark the third straight match for the Tigers against a USA South opponent.
