The Lipscomb (4-6-1, 2-1 A-Sun) men’s soccer team held a 3-2 win over Jacksonville (2-8-1, 0-3 A-Sun) in an Atlantic Sun conference game Tuesday night at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
“We scored early which was good,” head coach Charles Morrow said. “I felt like we took our foot off the gas, but all credit goes to our guys for coming back in the second half.”
This victory puts the Bisons’ conference record at 2-1.
“Every game is huge, especially when you have three conference games in an eight day period,” Morrow said. “It is super important to get out of this tough stretch, winning two out of the three games.”
The Bisons scored the first goal of the match in the 3rd minute by junior Kevin McMahon. The goal was unassisted.
The Dolphins answered with two goals in the first half. The first goal occurred in the 25th minute and the second occurred in the 43rd minute.
Lipscomb added two goals in the second half.
In the 56th minute McMahon scored his second goal of the game to bring the match back to even. This was followed by a 25-yard shot scored by senior Matt Kerridge.
“Kevin’s hard work paid off in the match,” Morrow said. “Kevin did a great job pressuring the ball, which is a thankless job, but led to a huge game for him.”
Up next, the Bisons will take on Elon at 6 p.m. Saturday at Elon.
