Trojans Overwhelmed at Lincoln Memorial
Box score

HARROGATE, Tenn. - Freshman defender Ludwig Nordin scored his first goal of the season to give Anderson an early lead, but Lincoln Memorial erupted for four second-half scores to outpace the Trojans, 7-1, in a South Atlantic Conference men's soccer matchup Saturday afternoon at the LMU Soccer Field.

Anderson (1-7-2, 1-2-1 SAC) suffered its third consecutive setback, while Lincoln Memorial improved to 5-2-1 overall and 2-2 in league play.

Nordin notched his first collegiate goal in the fifth minute after senior Zak Moss placed a corner kick in the box in front of the goal and Nordin found the back of the net after the ball deflected off LMU keeper Marcel Barwanietz.

But the Railsplitters posted seven unanswered goals to stay undefeated at home this season, with Preseason All-SAC forward Mario Pinto and freshman Pedro Villa leading the way, with each scoring a pair of goals.

LMU outshot the Trojans, 27-6, on the afternoon and held a 9-2 advantage in corner kicks. Trojan goalkeeper Lukas Hesse recorded five saves on the afternoon, but suffered the loss while surrendering five goals, while freshman Devon Ashy notched three saves and gave up a pair of scores.

LMU's Barwanietz recorded one save and earned the win.

Anderson returns to the friendly confines of Trojan Stadium on Saturday, playing host to SAC foe Mars Hill. Kick-off versus the Lions is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
