Sagstuen secures draw for LC against Blazers

LAGRANGE, Ga. – The LaGrange College men's soccer team opened conference play with a 1-1 draw against visiting Belhaven University in Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) action on Saturday at Panther Field in LaGrange, Georgia.

THE BASICS
Score:                  Belhaven 1, LaGrange 1
Records:             Panthers 2-2-5, 0-0-1 CCS | Scots 4-2-3, 0-0-1 CCS

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Both teams battled tremendously in the first half of play, engaging in a physically demanding affair which remained scoreless heading into the dressing rooms.
  • As the match began to venture into the late knockings, the offence from both squads intensified. Belhaven's Adrian Sanchez (Rio Grande, P.R.) finally broke the stalemate with a shot that rang off the post and in to give his unit the late one-nil advantage with less than 12 minutes remaining.
  • With their backs against the wall, LC delivered everything they had in order to equalize the bout. They were able to do just that in the 84th minute as senior forward Lucas Duke (Dexter, Ga.) launched a throw-in into the box, which fortuitously landed on the foot of Jacob Sagstuen (Dacula, Ga.) who deposited the Panthers' conference-opening goal to tie the match at one-apiece.
  • The draw would stand to the final whistle as both squads opened up conference action undefeated.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • LaGrange sophomore goalkeeper Sawyer Williams (Johns Creek, Ga.) posted five saves for the Panthers, conceding just the one tally late in the game.
  • Belhaven senior midfielder Matt Smith (Laurel, Miss.) led both teams with three shots on goal.
  • Total shots were 12-7 (7-4 SOG) in favor of the visitors.
UP NEXT
