Belmont Abbey received goals from Adam Gray and Paul Goding as the Crusaders men's soccer team earned a 2-0 road shutout at Lenoir-Rhyne this evening. The Abbey improves to 5-4, while the Bears dip to 3-2-1.

Lenoir-Rhyne outshot the Abbey 16-11, but goalkeeper Bryan Alenky kept the Bears off the scoreboard with nine saves in the match as freshman forward Adam Gray gave the Crusaders the only goal they would need in the 31st minute. Momo Kanneh fed Gray, who fired home a blast from 25 yards out into the center of the net for his third goal of the year.

Goding added the insurance goal in the 75th minute as Andrei Petrov fired a pass to Goding, who fired home the second Abbey goal of the night from right in the front of the goal for his first tally of the year.
