Contact: Richard Dombrowsky, Sports Information Director

Senior Alan Creasy stole the show on Senior Day with an impressive long strike for an unassisted goal helping lead the Lions past Spalding.
The Piedmont College men's soccer team picked up its tenth victory of the season this evening defeating Spalding University here in Demorest by the score of 3-1. The Lions wrap up the 2008 regular season an impressive 5-1 at the friendly confines of Walker Field.

JORGE PRADILLA opened the scoring for PC with a goal at the 12th minute off a pass from JEREMY STILLE. Pradilla struck again eight minutes later with a one-timer off a through ball from JON REINERT. The Golden Eagles posted their lone goal in the same minute with a penalty kick goal, the first allowed by PC this season.

ALAN CREASY, who was recognized prior to the start of the match as the lone representative on Senior Day, sealed the victory with a remarkable shot from well beyond the eighteen beating the keeper unassisted at the 40th minute. Between the posts BRIAN GAID continued his impressive play with eight saves including a outstretched diving effort early in the second frame.

For the match both teams connected on nine shots on goal while SU held the advantage in corner kicks 7-2. In the hard fought match there were a combined 37 fouls and eight yellow cards, a new season high total.

The victory moves the Lions to 10-7 overall. PC will return to action again in the quarterfinals of the Great South Athletic Conference Tournament on Friday, November 7th in LaGrange, GA with game time and the opponent to be determined.
