The Lipscomb men’s soccer team took a 2-0 loss to Belmont in the season opener this Friday night at Rose Park.
Sophomore Rashad Hyacenth scored the first goal on a free kick for the Belmont Bruins in the ninth minute. Hyacenth scored his second goal of the match in the 78th minute.
“Hyacenth did a great job of finding the ball throughout the game,” Lipscomb head coach Charles Morrow said.
Morrow also said he was was very impressed with Belmont’s defense. “They have eleven guys that are committed to playing a strong defense,” Morrow said. “We had a lot of the ball, but we struggled to break Belmont down defensively.”
Morrow said that his team is working with many injuries but expects to get better as the season progresses.
Lipscomb will return to action this Sunday for the home opener against Eastern Illinois. The game will begin at 6 p.m. at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
