Box Score NEWPORT NEWS, Virginia -- The Piedmont College men's soccer team saw its 2012 season come to an end Saturday with a 4-1 loss at #14 Christopher Newport University in quarterfinal action of the USA South Athletic Conference Championship Tournament.  The Lions wrap up the season 6-10-2 overall. 

The top-seeded Captains used an early goal by Denny Arinello with an assist from Jalon Brown to open the scoring at the 9:52 mark of the first half.  The eventual game-winner would come just a few minutes later at the 13:19 mark when CNU's Alex Makumbi would find the back of the net on a feed from Danny Franklin.

With less than two minutes before half, the Captains would extend the lead to 3-1 on a Tommy O'Neal header goal assisted by a Noah Jefferson corner kick. 

Brown would punctuate the scoring at the 67:19 mark with his 14th goal of the season with an assist from Noah Davis.
