The Belmont Abbey men's soccer team lost at Carson-Newman in
overtime, 3-2 this evening. The Eagles scored just two minutes into
the extra period after both teams scored two goals in the opening
90 minutes. The win moves the Eagles record to 5-8-1, while the
Abbey drops to 5-10-1.
After Carson-Newman scored a first half goal and carried that
lead into the break, Ross Smith knotted the game at one in the 60th
minute when he volleyed home a throw-in off the bounce.
Three minutes later, Jose Penaloza gave the Crusaders the lead
when he took advantage of a miscue by the Eagles goalkeeper and
scored into an empty net to push the Abbey ahead.
The lead stood for only seven minutes as Carson-Newman's Tyson
Adkinson sent a through ball past two Abbey defenders to the feet
of Robert Hill, whose shot curled past Sergio Ramirez for the
equalizer.
Neither team scored again in regulation, sending the contest
into extra time, where Adkinson's initial shot was stopped by
Ramirez, but he headed home the rebound for the game winner.
Carson-Newman outshot the Abbey 31-5. Both teams attempted four
corner kicks.
