ASHLAND, Va. – On a cool and sunny fall Saturday, EMU Men's Soccer took an approximately two-hour trip just north of Richmond for a late season ODAC battle with Randolph Macon. In a low scoring defensive affair, a first half goal by the host Yellow Jackets was enough to defeat the visiting Royals, 1-0.
Records: EMU 4-12-1, 1-7 ODAC | Randolph Macon 9-3-2, 5-2-1 ODAC
Highlights
- 23' | Good scoring opportunities were hard to come by early on, but Randolph Macon were able to make the most of a chance just before the halfway point of the first half when Quinn Conlan found the back of the net to put the Yellow Jackets up 1-0.
- Although EMU did not get a shot on goal in the first half, they were able to produce more chances in the second 45 minutes. The Royals' best opportunity for an equalizer came in the 84th minute when Kane Kiernan put the ball on net; however, the Randolph Macon goalkeeper was able to make the save. The Royals could not muster another shot on goal in the waning minutes, allowing the Yellow Jackets to hold on for the victory.
