Box Score FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina -- The Piedmont College men's soccer team was held scoreless as host Methodist University posted a 3-0 USA South Athletic Conference win this afternoon at the MU Soccerplex.  The loss drops Piedmont to 4-8-2 overall and 0-4-2 in league play.

Methodist scored in the game's 11th minute and was able to punch through another header goal following a cross with just 2.6 seconds left in the period to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. 

MU would tack on a third goal in the game's 76th minute for the final margin.

"This was a decent weekend for us because we got a result yesterday and that is what we wanted with two tough regionally-ranked opponents this weekend," stated head coach Jimmy Stephens.

Piedmont returns to action on Friday, October 19 when the Lions host Huntingdon College in non-conference action at Walker Field with kick off set for 7:00 PM.
