Box Score Host Hampden-Sydney suffocated EMU's attack Saturday night in Farmville, Va., as the Tigers handed the soccer men a 2-0 conference loss. The Royals managed just two shots all night as they fell to 2-4-2 overall and 0-2 in the ODAC.
HSC had Eastern Mennonite on their heels from the early minutes and took a 1-0 lead with a goal in the 36th. The men couldn't find a seam in the Tigers' defense in the second and then the home team delivered the knockout punch late, scoring their second goal with just 1:13 left to play.
The Royals were out-shot 14-2 in the loss. Jake Lind (Harrisonburg, Va./Eastern Mennonite) and Viktor Kaltenstein (Kirkwood, Pa./Lancaster Mennonite) took the only shots, although both were wide. Andrew Yoder (Harrisonburg, Va./Eastern Mennonite) made six saves in goal.
EMU steps back out of the conference on Wednesday, hitting the road to take on Ferrum College. Game time is 7:00pm.
