Box Score

NEWBERRY, S.C. - The Newberry men's soccer team had its Senior Day spoiled by visiting Carson-Newman as the Eagles took down the Wolves 5-2, despite Newberry goals from Kofi Kufuor and Kyle Maitlaind on Saturday.

Carson-Newman (6-8-1, 4-4-1 SAC) opened the scoring in the 12th minute as Joao Pedro Dowlsey corralled a pass from Robert Hill and struck a shot off the bottom of the crossbar that fell into the back of the net.

Evan Kelly added a tally in the 16th minute on a header off a Tyson Adkinson corner. The next three goals for the Eagles came from Taylor Jolley who completed the hat trick in the 26th, 34th, and 44th minutes, respectively.

Newberry (5-12-0, 1-8-0) looked to counter in the second half as sophomore Stephen Harvey (Kingston, Jamaica) fed Kufuor (Accra, Ghana) just inside the 18-yard box before the Ghanaian was able to score his seventh goal of the season.

Maitland (Columbia, S.C.) recorded his fifth goal of the season as Harvey sent a ball down the pitch that was run onto by Maitland and chipped into the goal from about 18 yards out.

Newberry goalkeeper Joel Johnson (Sangre Grande, Trinidad & Tobago) recorded 11 saves on the afternoon.

Prior to kickoff the Wolves honored their five member senior class. The Newberry College seniors honored were: Stephan Bass (Fayetteville, Ga.), Justin Blomdahl (Pawleys Island, S.C.), Brad Cochran (Barnwell, S.C.), Clint Harbuck (Barnwell, S.C.) and Johnson.
