MARYVILLE, Tenn. - The Piedmont men's soccer team moved to 4-0 on the season, stunning Greenville University in the dying minutes of the contest. Senior Jason Aussin tied the contest in the 85th minute before junior Colin Vogel scored the game-winner in the 87th. The 4-0 start marks the best start in the NCAA era (since 2003) for the program.

The Lions fell behind early as Greenville opened the scoring in the eighth minute of play. Off a corner, the ball was knocked around the box before being tapped home by the Panthers. 

The pressure remained on the Lions' end as keeper Bobby Wood was forced to make a tremendous save in the 16th minute to keep Piedmont within one. The stout defense proved important as sophomore Davis Knight leveled the contest in the 23rd minute. Off a long free-kick ball from Wood, freshman Mason Keith headed the ball into the 18, where a failed Panther clearance gave Knight a prime opportunity to put away his fifth of the season.

Though both teams had opportunities to score, the match remained tied 1-1 heading into halftime. 

Late in the second half, Greenville finally broke through once more. Similar to the first goal, a corner kick bounced around the 18 before falling directly to a Panther player. Wood was able to get a body on the shot, but the deflection trickled into the net. 

The Lions refused to go quietly as they hunted down an equalizer. In the 85th minute of play, Aussin put home a brilliant goal to level the contest once more. Following a corner clearance, a service from the midfield line was headed into the box where Aussin tucked home the chance.

The magic continued just moments later as a long ball from Wood was corralled by Knight and played directly into the box at the feet of junior Colin Vogel. Calm and collected, Vogel laced home the game-winner, stunning the Panthers in the 87th minute.

Up next, Piedmont remains in Maryville and will take on Southern Virginia Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m.
