The Piedmont University men’s soccer team dropped its first contest of the year to Johnson & Wales early Sunday afternoon. The Lions were unable to break the strong JWU defense that has not conceded a goal all season, falling 3-0.
The Lions played the majority of the first half on the back foot, registering just one shot to the 10 of the Wildcats. In the 33rd minute, JWU made one of their many opportunities count as they scored the opening goal of the contest.
Out of the half, JWU wasted no time, once again finding the back of the net and moving the score line to 2-0. The scoring continued later in the half as the Wildcats added a third to the books, taking a commanding 3-0 advantage to close out the contest.
Up next, Piedmont travels to Pfeiffer for their first road contest of the year on Wednesday, September 13. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:
– The Wildcats out-shot the Lions 21-4.
