JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Carson-Newman (2-1) and Anderson (1-1) will have to wait to begin South Atlantic Conference play as the two teams were forced to see their SAC opener postponed to a later date, due to severe thunderstorms in the Jefferson City area Saturday night.
The night was already delayed because of lightning in the area that pushed back the start time of the women's game.
Carson-Newman and Anderson were able to play the first 33:39 of the contest. C-N got the first shot of the match from Ben Dukes (Southampton, England) but it was blocked. The Eagles had two more really good opportunities in the 24th and 27th minutes as Harry Whitehead (Oxford, England) and Mitchell Honcoop (Nieuw-Vennep, Netherlands) each had chances at goal but Anderson keeper Amos Uber made a pair of saves.
The Trojans only shot on frame went in the back of the net, as Lucas Goldberg found Juan Jose Alvarez to give the vistiors the advantage in the 32nd. Only 99 more seconds were played before the officials pulled the teams off the field for lightning, which was then followed by heavy thunderstorms.
A date has not yet been set for when this match will be continued.
Carson-Newman is back on the field on Wednesday when it takes on Auburn Montgomery.
