GC falls in tough one to Campbellsville

Late Saturday evening as the rains opened up and poured heavily, both Georgetown College and Campbellsville University men's soccer teams took advantage of the wet surface. Each team cranked shots with rapid pace, hoping something would spin its way in on a difficult night for goalies.

Both keepers proved to be up to the task, turning at least five saves each. However, the visiting Tigers were able to push across the lone score, winning 1-0 at Toyota Stadium.

After a scoreless first half, Campbellsville upped the attack and a quick transition set up Connor Pugh. Georgetown's defenders poked at the ball and had chances, but could not get it off Pugh's foot in time before he was able to put a shot past Jacob Roberts.

Roberts turned in six saves on the evening, while his counterpart Owen Stott had five.

The GC Tigers (12-4, 3-4) ripped 14 shots, many were deflected by defenders, five found a way to get on frame for the saves. Campbellsville took 23 shots, several blocked, several high or wide and seven on target.

GC had several good looks down the stretch for equalizers, but the wet turf wreaked havoc on the team's footing and touches with the ball.

Georgetown is back in action 7:30 pm in Crestview Hills for a final Mid-South Conference game of the season with newcomer Thomas More University. The men then finish regular season with Senior Night Nov. 2 6 pm against Midway University.
