CONCORD, W.Va. - A pair of goals late in the first half helped
the Carson Newman College Men's Soccer Team (6-3-1) to a 4-0 win
over Concord University (4-8-0) Tuesday afternoon at Anderson Field
in non-conference action.
The Eagles scored twice late in the first half to break up a
scoreless tie. Senior Omar Cooke (Roanoke, Va.) tallied the first
goal of the match in the 40th minute. Freshman Daniel Zitt
(Morristown, Tenn.) was credited with the assist.
Zitt would score the second goal on a header, off an assist from
sophomore Robert Hill (Middlesbrough, ENGLAND), with just :59
remaining before the break to put C-N up 2-0.
The two-score margin remained until junior Matthew Finlay
(Liverpool, ENGLAND) put the match out of reach with his third goal
of the season with 17:22 left in regulation, assisted by Cooke.
Hill closed out the scoring on a penalty kick just 30 seconds later
for the final 4-0 margin.
The Eagles outshot the Mountain Lions, 29-5, and held an 8-3
advantage in corner kicks in the match.
Carson-Newman will travel to Salisbury, N.C., Friday in a return to
South Atlantic Conference action against Catawba College. Kickoff
is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
