Shreveport - Sophomore D Dylan Clark (Allen, Texas) buried a late penalty kick on Sunday afternoon to send the Centenary men's soccer team to a gritty 1-0 victory over the Lyon College Scots in a non-conference contest at Atkins Field.
The Gents (2-1-1) and Scots (2-1-1) battled to a scoreless draw until Clark was fouled inside the box and rifled his PK attempt past Lyon GK Gabriel Rangel and into the back of the net in the 85th minute. Centenary rebounded from a 4-1 road loss to the Huntingdon College Hawks in a non-conference contest on Friday afternoon and handed the Scots their first loss of the young season.
Senior GK Sam Brocato (Leesville, La.) went the distance in goal for the Gents and made a season-high seven saves while recording his third shutout of the season. Rangel also played the entire match for Lyon and made one save. The Scots outshot the Gents, 15-6, and had finished with a 7-2 advantage in shots on goal. The Scots took six corner kicks to the Gents' two and the teams were whistled for 17 fouls - 10 on the Gents and seven on the Scots.
The Gents, now 2-0-1 at home this season, will head back out on the road for a pair of matches this weekend. The Maroon and White will face Hardin-Simmons University on Thursday in Abilene, Texas and Howard Payne University on Saturday in Brownwood, Texas.
