Box Score SEWANEE, Tenn. –

Tyler Scott both scored in the first half and Sewanee held off a late charge, preserving a 2-1 victory over Gettysburg College in men's soccer action here Saturday at Puett Field.

Connor Cheynet. The Bullets evened the match just six minutes later thanks to Chase Sempervive.
Scott headed in the eventual game-winner on a corner kick by
Connor Dail in the 33
