Box Score The men's soccer team notched their first SCAC victory of the
season on Sunday afternoon by topping the Austin College Kangaroos
on Salamone Field, 3-0.
The Petrels started the scoring in the 21st minute when some
hard work from E.J. Ovie-Ogodo left Aaron Walker a shot he fired
past the "Roos keeper for the early lead. The Petrels struck again
early in the second half when a run from Russell Thompson yielded
Harrison McConnell room to shoot from 25 yards out. The keeper
misplayed the blast and Oglethorpe earned some separation with the
goal. Oglethorpe capped the scoring in the 84th minute when
Thompson recorded a goal of his own off a nice feed from Ricardo
Morgan.
Oglethorpe outshot the 'Roos 12-8 and the Petrels placed an
impressive 9 of the shots on goal.
With the result Oglethorpe is now 5-3-1 on the season and will
travel to face Sewanee this Sunday night at 3:00 p.m.
