Trojans Battle Mt. Olive to Draw -- Earn 4th Seed

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. -- Behind sophomore Lasse Sohrweide's header with less than four minutes remaining in regulation, 13th-ranked Anderson finished the regular season by tying Mount Olive, 1-1, in Conference Carolinas' men's soccer action Saturday afternoon at Amon Field. The Trojans have already equaled last season's school-record 12-win campaign, moving to 12-2-3 overall and 6-1-3 in the conference, while Mount Olive wrapped up the regular season at 6-9-1 and 3-6-1. Anderson earned the fourth seed in next week's conference tournament and will play host to the Coker Cobras on Tuesday night. AU handed Coker a 2-0 setback on Oct. 24. The two sets of Trojans battled to a scoreless draw over the first 45 minutes, but John Mendoza put Mount Olive on the scoreboard first with an 18-yard shot in the 66th minute of action. With time winding down in regulation, Sohrweide headed junior Adrien Moufflet's corner kick past the Mount Olive defenders and keeper Jamie Carano for the equalizer. Neither team was able to muster much of an offensive threat in the two overtime frames, with AU garnering the lone shot in the 104th minute. Anderson held a 22-8 advantage in shots, including a 12-3 edge in the second frame and also tallied 11 corner kicks to the homestanding Trojans' two. "It was a frustrating day," said Anderson head coach Rob Miller. "We were very good at creating opportunities, but we had a hard time finishing." The Trojans will put their 19-match home unbeaten streak on the line Tuesday night as they host fifth-seeded Coker in the first round of the conference tournament at the AU Soccer Field. Kick-off versus the Cobras is scheduled for 7 p.m. Game Stats Season Stats
