Lees-McRae Edges Carson-Newman 1-0
The Bobcats lone goal came in the 34th minute on a free kick by Lee Squires. Freshman David Palmer set up the free kick when he drew a foul around 20 yards out. Luke Staats touched the ball for the indirect kick, and Squires blasted the ball to the near post past the Eagle keeper Jordan Moore.
The two teams battled in the downpour for the rest of the match. In the 83rd minute Carson-Newman's Omar Cooke's shot was deflected by Bobcat keeper Sean Paradise off the post and cleared by Staats to seal the Bobcats' victory.
Richard Marquetty and Marcus Cabralis led the Eagle scoring effort with three shots on goal, while Cooke and Anthony Chiappetta added two shots.
The Eagles will look to rebound in home field action this Saturday, September 13, against Francis Marion. The match is set to begin at 7:00 p.m.
