Demorest, GA - On an absolutely saturated field at Walker Athletic Complex, the Piedmont College men's soccer team was able to overcome the elements and the visitors with a 1-0 win over Huntingdon College in USA South play on Saturday evening.  

Both teams had their chances to walk away with a win as Piedmont held a 10-8 shot advantage, but it was the strike by MATTHEW METZGER in the 79th minute that proved the difference for the home team in the 1-0 win.  

Metzger took a pass from CHRIS BIBLE at the top of the box and found space enough to get a shot away to the keeper's right which carried through the defense and into the net for the gamewinner.

Metzger's goal is his first of the season and puts Piedmont now at 2-2-1 in USA South play, 2nd on the league table behind only conference leader Maryville with its ten points.  Piedmont has collected seven points on two wins and tie so far in the early going of the conference schedule.

--MATTHEW METZGER's goal in the closing minutes of the second half that handed Piedmont the conference win at home on a drenched night in Demorest.
