Piedmont University’s men’s soccer team dropped their first road contest of the season to a strong Pfeiffer squad by a score of 5-1. Davis Knight Scored the lone goal for Piedmont.
The action got started early for Pfeiffer as they found the back of the net in the 17th minute of the contest. Making matters worse, the same Falcon scored again just over two minutes later.
Trailing 2-0, the Lions responded, getting themselves on the board and back into the contest. Freshman Davis Knight scored unassisted, tallying his fourth goal of the season in five games.
However, just as it looked like the Lions were back in business, Pfeiffer scored directly off the restart. It took just 34 seconds for the lead to go back to two, with Pfeiffer in charge 3-1.
The score line worsened before the half was done as the Lions conceded another goal, finishing the first half behind 4-1.
Out of the break, the Falcons scored once again just minutes into the half before holding Piedmont silent for the remainder of the game.
Up next, Piedmont returns home to face a stout Oglethorpe squad on Sunday, September 17 with kickoff set for 1 p.m.
