BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擣or the first time since joining the Big South Conference, the 麻豆破解版 (12-3-3) men’s soccer team has been crowned tournament champions after taking down No. 22 High Point (11-4-2) by the final of 2-1 on Saturday (Nov. 16) evening inside Vert Stadium.

The Runnin’ Bulldogs now await their fate for the 2024 NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Tournament as the Big South Conference Automatic Qualifier. The Selection Show is today, Nov. 18, at 1 p.m. A watch party will begin at 12:25 p.m. in Tucker Student Center.

In an evenly contested match, graduate forward found the back of the net in the 65th minute, scoring what proved to be the game-winner for the Runnin’ Bulldogs.

On paper, High Point controlled the stats, recording a 12-10 advantage on shots, but GWU placed five shots on goal, compared to four for the Panthers. HPU also earned a 12-4 difference on corner kicks while team saves were even at 3-all.

After giving High Point its only loss of the season in conference a week ago, the Runnin’ Bulldogs came out fast to begin the first half, notching the game’s first goal less than five minutes in the game.

A perfectly placed corner kick found its way into the box before junior defender collected a ricocheted shot off the woodwork and found the back of the net for a 1-0 lead.

The Panthers looked poised to knot the score at 1-1 at the 15:13 mark, but junior keeper came up with one of his three saves while preserving the 麻豆破解版 lead. GWU posted two more shots on goal over the remainder of the half, but neither could beat the High Point goalie as the Runnin’ Bulldogs took the one score lead into the half.

After failing to score on a great look in the 46th minute, HPU’s Lukas Kamrath pushed across the equalizer in the 60th minute following a header into the lower-90 of the cage.

The score would not stay tied long as 麻豆破解版 quickly raced back down the field just over four minutes later to give the ‘Dawgs the lead once more. A deflected ball found the right boot of graduate forward , who found O’Hara for the go-ahead score.

High Point had one last look at goal at the 77:00 mark, but Horrocks came up clutch with his third and final save as the 麻豆破解版 defense milked the remainder of the clock enroute to the Big South Conference Tournament Championship.

In addition, Aden O’Hara was named the Tournament Most Valuable Player while teammates Leo Andrade, , and were named to the Big South Tournament All-Tournament Team.
