The Piedmont University men’s soccer team was blanked in their non-conference road contest against Bob Jones, dropping the contest 2-0 late Tuesday night.
In a back-and-forth contest, Piedmont saw its best opportunity in the 17th minute with Colin Vogel and Davis Knight linking up. Vogel ended up with a point blank look against the Bruins keeper but was turned aside. It appeared as though the Lions would carry a neutral score line into the break but a late penalty kick opportunity for Bob Jones in the 43rd minute led to the opening goal of the contest.
Starting the second half, the Lions had the majority of the meaningful possession, but an odd man rush counter attack from the Bruins resulted in a 2-0 score line.
Piedmont battled to get back into the contest but registered just two shots in the remaining minutes following the second concession and the game finished 2-0 Bob Jones.
Up next, Piedmont returns to Demorest for their CCS opener against Berea on Saturday, September 30 at 2 p.m.
