Andre Bissmark's goal in the 38th minute stood up as the game-winner in Tusculum College's 1-0 victory over Catawba College Saturday night in South Atlantic Conference men's soccer action from Pioneer Field.

The Pioneers (6-6-2, 3-3-1 SAC) outshot the Indians (7-4-3, 2-2-3 SAC) by a margin of 11-3, but it was Bissmark who came through late in the first half to give the Tusculum the victory.

The Pioneers took a 1-0 lead at 37:12 on Bissmark's second goal of the season. Bissmark's initial shot was blocked by the Catawba defense, but the ball caromed back to him and he was able to beat Indians keeper Frankie Cardelle and give Tusculum a 1-0 lead.

The Tusculum defense clamped down on Catawba in the second half, permitting just two total shot attempts and just one on goal, which Pioneer keeper Andy Goellner was able to gather.

Tusculum finished the match with an 8-1 advantage in corner kicks over Catawba, and fouls went toward the Indians by a slim 11-10 margin.

Goellner earned his fourth shutout of the season in goal for the Pioneers, while Frankie Cardelle was called upon to make three stops for the Indians.

Tusculum will be back in action next Saturday night at 7 p.m. when Lenoir-Rhyne visits Pioneer Field for a SAC match. The Bears eliminated the Pioneers from the SAC Tournament last season with a 3-0 victory in the quarterfinals in Greeneville.
