Box Score

Demorest, GA -- The Piedmont College men's soccer team fought valiantly but eventually fell to top seeded Maryville College in the Great South Athletic Conference Championship Tournament final 2-1.  Despite scoring first, Piedmont allowed an equalizer in regulation before giving up the gamewinner in overtime.

In an even contest fit for a championship match, the Lions struck first in the 55th minute when NICK WEATHERBY broke free to put a punted ball from keeper BRIAN GAID into the Maryville net.  The 1-0 advantage would last 20 minutes before the Scots found an equalizer in the 75th minute to put the score at 1-1 where it stayed through regulation. 

The two squads then went to overtime to decide a winner where Maryville scored the golden goal only three minutes in.  The Lions keeper BRIAN GAID was selected as the GSAC championship tournament MVP for his effort between the sticks for PC.

The loss ends Piedmont's season at 11-8 overall after the Lions reached the conference championship match for a third consecutive season.
