Late goal gives Coker 1-0 victory
Box score GREENEVILLE, Tenn. ---

Stephen Scrivens scored on a header with 17:07 remaining in the second half to give Coker College a 1-0 victory over Tusculum College in a South Atlantic Conference men's soccer match at Pioneer Field Sunday afternoon.

The Cobras (7-5-2, 5-4-1 SAC) outshot the Pioneers (5-9-0, 2-7-0 SAC) by a 13-3 margin, but could not capitalize until Scrivens headed home a service from Noah Gulley in the 73rd minute.

Coker finished the first half with an 8-0 advantage in shots but managed to put just two on goal as the teams went to the locker room tied 0-0. The Pioneers took their first shot of the match in the 48th minute off the foot of Tyler Linkous, but Cobras keeper Kyndle Cobb made the save.

After the goal by Scrivens, Tusculum applied pressure in the closing minutes and nearly got the equalizer with just over a minute to go, but a deflection attempt by Andres Vargas was handled by Cobb.

Tusculum finished the match with a 6-3 edge in corner kicks, while the Pioneers had a 6-5 lead in fouls in a cleanly-played contest on both sides. Coker was called three times for offsides, once negating a goal, and Tusculum was flagged once.

Cobb made two saves in goal for the Cobras, and Pioneer keeper Ashley Elsey finished with three stops in the contest.

The Pioneers wrap up their home schedule on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. against local rival Carson-Newman at Pioneer Field.
