The Tusculum College men's soccer team dropped its third straight one-goal decision on Sunday, falling 1-0 to Nova Southeastern in action at the Stanno Tournament at Pioneer Field.

Tyree Clarke scored the only goal of the afternoon six minutes into the second half, and the visiting Sharks (2-1-1) held on for the win despite being outshot 10-8 by the Pioneers (0-4-0).

"Credit to Nova, they did what they had to do to win the game," said Tusculum head coach Allen Vital. "In the end, we showed our inexperience. We were not patience enough and got frustrated. We have to pick it up and try to regroup and hopefully do better."

Clarke collected a pass from Halil Tozar and found the net behind Tusculum keeper Andy Goellner at 51:06 to give Nova Southeastern its second one-goal win of the weekend. The Sharks defeated Carson-Newman 1-0 in overtime on Friday.

The teams played a scoreless first half, with Clarke having the best scoring opportunity just shy of the 27-minute mark but Goellner denied the shot to preserve the deadlock.

After Nova Southeastern took a 1-0 lead, the Pioneers applied pressure on the Sharks net in search of the equalizer. Tusculum took five straight shots at the Nova Southeastern goal, with Roberto Pimentel having the best chance with 12:40 left. However, Andrea Giombetti saved what would be the Pioneers' final shot of the match.

Tusculum finished with a 4-1 advantage in corner kicks over Nova Southeastern, while the Sharks were called for 11 fouls and four offsides to five fouls and two offsides for the Pioneers. Both Goellner and Giombetti made one save in goal for their respective sides.

In the final game of the Stanno Tournament, 10th-ranked Barry defeated Carson-Newman 2-1 on a goal by Mark Anderson with 5:49 remaining in the second half.

The Pioneers will host Limestone on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in a non-conference match.
