NEWBERRY – After a scoreless first half and taking a 1-0 lead early in the second half, the Newberry College men's soccer team fell 2-1 to the visiting Tusculum Pioneers this afternoon at the Smith Road Complex.

The Wolves (3-6-2, 1-5-2 South Atlantic Conference) scored the game's first goal in the 56th minute, breaking up the defensive stalemate.

That goal was scored by Uriel Zarracan – his third straight game with a goal – after Seraphin Guetan set him up with a perfect pass on the right side for his team-leading fourth assist of the season.

Tusculum fired two shots on net after Newberry's lone goal before connecting in the 70th minute to tie the score at 1.

Eight minutes later, the Pioneers scored the game-winner on a free kick from just outside the penalty box.

The Wolves didn't go down without a fight as Guetan zipped a shot just to the right of the net with about 20 seconds remaining, narrowly missing evening up the game at two.

Newberry has a week off before returning to the pitch for a road game against Lenoir-Rhyne next Saturday (Oct. 21). Kickoff is at 5 p.m.
