Three-goal Second Half Lifts Lynchburg Past R-MC, 3-1
( Box Score )
ASHLAND, VA – After senior captain Kevan Quinn scored a goal in the forty-eighth minute of what may have been his last collegiate soccer game on the campus of Randolph-Macon, Lynchburg rattled off three goals in a twenty-minute span to knock off the Yellow Jackets 3-1.
After a scoreless first stanza, R-MC took a 1-0 early in the second half. Jon Fernandez found Quinn, who slipped a shot past the Hornets keeper. The ball hit the inside of the left post, ricocheting into the cage. Less than six minutes later, the Hornets tied the match with a tally of their own. The Lynchburg scoring attack did not stop there. In the sixty-first minute, Hornet Hunter Smith sent a bicycle kick into the top right corner of the R-MC cage for the eventual game-winning goal. Lynchburg added a third tally in the seventy-fourth minute to seal the victory.
R-MC keeper Jason DePre collected two shots, while Lynchburg’s Matt Sturdivant made nine saves.
Despite the loss, the Yellow Jackets will still earn a spot in the ODAC Tournament. R-MC will grab either the seventh or eight seed, depending on the outcome of the Eastern Mennonite vs. Emory & Henry match tonight.
R-MC will travel to either Roanoke or Lynchburg on Saturday for the quarterfinal matchup.
