Montgomery, AL -  A flurry of early scoring and eight total goals highlighted the Piedmont College men's soccer team's road win over Huntingdon College on Friday in Montgomery. 

The win was a key one for the Lions as PC picked up three road points in conference play and currently sit in a four-way tie atop the league standings in the young 2016 season.  

Huntingdon scored first with Brandon Van Emelen tallying the goal just 1:03 into the contest, the first of his two goals on the night.  However, Piedmont responded with a resounding attack as LUKE MARTIN scored just over five minutes later, the first of two for the Piedmont freshman as he also would score in the 29th minute.

Martin's second score made it a 3-1 game as DIEGO GODINEZ tallied the Lions' second goal in the 12th minute.  Though holding a two-goal lead, Van Emelen's second goal of the night made it a 3-2 ballgame in the 31st minute, the fifth goal of the first half to that point.

Despite the threat, veteran CHASE KANE stepped up with a Piedmont score just over two minutes after Huntingdon had made it a 3-2 game giving PC a 4-2 lead at the half allowing the fans in Alabama to catch their breath. 

A pair of late scores from PC would distance the two even further with CHRIS KELLER and DIEGO GODINEZ each finding the net in the final seven minutes to put the final at 6-2 handing Head Coach Jimmy Stephens and his young Lions an important road win in league play. 

Turning Point
--CHASE KANE's score in the 33rd minute put the lead back to two goals after Huntingdon had cut it to just one less than two minutes earlier.

Standout Performances
--LUKE MARTIN had a pair of goals on five total shots while also adding an assist to his stat sheet for the evening.  
--DIEGO GODINEZ joined his classmate with a pair of goals on the night as well needing only four shots to do so. 

Inside the Box Score

--Piedmont dominated the shot count 24-15 put 12 of those 24 on target...It's the second time PC has outshot an opponent in the last three games.
