FARMVILLE, Va. – Sophomore Philip van Berkom/Zetten, the Netherlands recorded his first goal of the season along with his first career assist to propel the Longwood University men’s soccer to a 3-1 victory against Big South Conference opponent UNC Asheville (3-7-0, 0-2-0) on Saturday afternoon at the Athletics Complex in Farmville.
Freshman Ben Ferrell/Fairfax Station scored once to add to the offensive effort, while sophomore Lee Martin/Gambrills, Maryland notched his first career points with a goal, as well. Freshman goalkeeper Carlos Canas/Manassas registered his first career win in front of the net for the Lancers with three saves in the outing.
“We can enjoy the win and take comfort that three points are in the bag, but it wasn’t easy, and give credit to Asheville, because they pushed us all the way,” said head coach Jon Atkinson. “Going a goal down is never a good idea, but I applaud our guys at the way they bounced back, showing initiative to go in with a lead at the half. I felt we should have killed the game off in the second half, but with a combination of poor finishing and decisions, we only had Lee Martin’s goal to provide us some
