LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Hampden-Sydney College fell in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Men's Soccer Tournament Quarterfinal against the University of Lynchburg, 3-0, Saturday night at Shellenberger Field.
"Tough result tonight. The scoreline flatters them for sure, but we needed to capitalize early in the second half and we didn't, and that's how close these games are this time of year," said head coach
Tommy DiNuzzo. "We're proud of our senior class though and appreciate the careers they've had here and know they'll be very successful in the real world."
Lynchburg got on the board in the first half, scoring off an own goal by H-SC to take an early lead in the 16th minute.
The Tigers came out firing in the second half, putting pressure on the Hornets and the goalkeeper early in the half. Despite the early pressure, Lynchburg added a second goal in the 73rd minute and scored a third in the 85th minute.
