HICKORY, N.C. - A Lenoir-Rhyne (9-3-2, 5-2-1 SAC) goal late in the first half would be all the Bears needed to defeat Brevard men's soccer team (6-7-2, 2-6 SAC) 1-0 in Saturday night's match.

In the 39th minute of the game, Israel Ramirez would pass the ball off to Emil Tansinda who would send a shot past Brevard's goalkeeper from about thirty yards out for the only goal of the match.

The Bears would finish the game with an 18-12 shot-advantage over Brevard. Brevard's offense was led by senior midfielder, Camilo Sosa (Shelby, N.C.), who would finish the day with four shot attempts. Gabriel Pastrana (Concord, N.C.) added three shots to the total, and Shawn Schoenfeld (Fleming Island, Fla.) would tally two shots on-goal. Lenoir-Rhyne was led by Ismael Noumansana who recorded seven shot attempts, two of them being on-goal.

Senior goalkeeper, Heath Turner (Kansas City, Mo.) had another solid day in goal, recording six saves while allowing one goal.

The Tornados had a chance to score in the final minute of the match, as Gabriel Pastrana would take a corner kick to set up Omar Jimenez (Forest City, N.C.) whose shot would miss wide left of the goal.

Brevard will look to snap a four game losing streak as they take on conference opponent, Newberry, on Wednesday, Oct. 19 beginning at 5 pm.
