DANVILLE, Va. – The Piedmont College men's soccer team stumbled to a 3-0 road loss on Friday afternoon at Averett in the team's regular season finale.
 
Although Piedmont (8-5-3, 6-3-3 USA South) took more shots and earned more corners, Averett (4-13-1, 2-9-1 USA South) scored twice in the first half and added a third goal early in the second half to cruise to the victory.
 
The Cougars struck in the early going, as Kellen Fees' first goal of the season put the Lions down a goal in just the 16th minute.
 
Then, after the Piedmont defense committed a foul in the box, Averett's Sean Dunbar converted the penalty kick to give the Cougars a 2-0 advantage heading into the break.
 
Averett held a 6-5 lead on shots in the first half, but Piedmont earned four corners, compared to just one for the Cougars.
 
After halftime, the Cougars did not let up, with Jake Searcy's goal in the early portion of the half moving the PC deficit to 3-0.
 
Despite the loss, the Lions still had a 17-12 shot advantage and a 6-2 edge in corners.
 
Piedmont finishes the regular season in third place in the USA South West Division after starting 5-0 in conference play for the first time ever.
 
TURNING POINT:
- With a 1-0 lead midway through the first half, Averett's Sean Dunbar converted a penalty kick to double the Piedmont deficit.
 
UP NEXT:
- The Lions will have the No. 3 seed in the West Division of the USA South Tournament. 
 
USA SOUTH TOURNAMENT SCENARIOS:
- For the first round, which will be played next Tuesday (Oct. 30), PC will travel to the No. 2 seed from the west, which will be either Maryville or Covenant.
- If Maryville wins against William Peace in its regular season finale on Saturday, Piedmont will take on Covenant.
- However, with a Maryville loss or tie, the Lions will take on the Scot in a rematch of Piedmont's 2-0 win in Demorest on Sept. 26.
