SAINTS TACKLE EAGLES 7-0 IN MEN'S SOCCER

Dahlonega, Ga. – After going three matches without a goal, the North Georgia College & State University (2-2-1) offense put up seven on the visiting Reinhardt Eagles (2-6-0) and the defense picked up its third shut-out of the season as the Saints rolled to a 7-0 victory. The win marked the first home victory for the Saints in the NCAA.

North Georgia got going early off of the foot of senior forward Ciro Pelliccia in the eighth minute. Pelliccia received the ball off of a free kick from junior defender Wenshel St. Hilaire and put the ball past the Eagle's freshman keeper Rodney Boyette. North Georgia made its second goal of the half at 18:06 when senior midfielder Drew Prentice blasted a free kick over the head of Boyett from the top of the 18-yard box.

Sophomore forward Kelvon Morris netted the next two goals for the Saints. The first was off of a break away in the 33rd minute and the second was eight minutes before the end of the half off of a pass from junior defender Brent Staley.

The second half played out much like the first as North Georgia netted three goals. Pelliccia scored his second goal of the match off of Prentice's second assist in the 62nd minute. Junior forward Jeremy Bouasy scored his first goal of the season off of an assist from senior midfielder Rene Alvarez at the 69:01 mark. Senior midfielder Kent Thornton also scored his first goal of the 2004 campaign after a corner kick from Alvarez bounced off of Bouasy and was knocked in by Thornton.

RC keeper Boyette made eight saves for the Eagles in the game while Saints junior keeper Vince Neal picked up his second shut-out of the season with two saves.

The Saints will take on their second PBC opponent this weekend as they face Clayton State University this Saturday on the road at 5:00 p.m. The Eagles will play Brevard College on the road Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
