GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Cody Forman knocked in the match-winning goal in the 53rd minute to lead the Tusculum College men's soccer team to a 1-0 South Atlantic Conference win at Tusculum College Saturday afternoon at Pioneer Field.
The Lions (1-4-0, 1-1-0 SAC) record their first win of the season, while the Pioneers fall to 2-3, 1-1 SAC.
Forman's goal was a blast from 33 yards out that found the back of the net past Tusculum keeper Ashley Elsey.
TC's best scoring chance came in the 49th minute when Guillermo Lazcano fired in a shot from top of the box that was heading towards the top half of the goal, but was headed over the cross bar by MHU's Tom Allison.
Mars Hill keeper Chris Mitchell tallied four saves in the shutout, while Elsey tallied three saves in going the distance for Tusculum.
Tusculum out-shot the Lions 14-9 for the match, including a 10-5 margin in the second period. TC also won the statistical battle in corner kicks, 7-2.
