JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. - The Newberry Indian men's soccer team entered Saturday�s match with the third ranked team in the nation Carson-Newman on a high, beating archrival Presbyterian 2-1 in a double overtime thriller the previous Tuesday.  They also entered the match without the services of four Indians who had to sitout the game because of injuries or cards.  Unfortunately, the Eagles of Carson-Newman were not sympathetic as they defeated Newberry 6-0.  Even in the loss, the Newberry side wraps up the regular season with an overall 9-6-2 record, including a school best 3-3-1 South Atlantic Conference record.

The Eagles finish the regular season with a 15-0-1 overall record and win their second consecutive South Atlantic Conference (SAC) championship as they post a 6-0-1 record in conference play. The Eagles will be the top seed in next week's SAC Tournament and will host a home match in the first round.

After Newberry accidentally poked in a goal in front of the Carson-Newman net to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead, Jussi Wooler (Winchester, England) took an assist from Kyle Frohock (Franklin, Tenn.) and scored on a header in front of the goal. The final goal of the first half would come when Marius Arnesen (Bergen, Norway) put in a diving kick from Carlos Maqueda (Knoxville, Tenn.) at the 35:13 mark.

Maqueda started the second half with a bang as he scored two consecutive goals. His first was off an assist by Richard Moodie (Stenhousmuir, Scotland) in the 60th minute and he scored on a rebound shot in the 79th minute. The final goal of the match came with 42 seconds left when Brad Collins (Vinton, Va.) knocked in a header in front of the goal.

Indian keeper Bryan Linn (Safety Harbor, Fla.) made eight saves on the afternoon. 

The Indians will travel to Wingate on Wednesday for their first round SAC playoff game.  Newberry will try and avenge a 5-0 loss to the Bulldogs on September 12th.
