Greensboro wins third straight tournament championship,
defeats Methodist 2-0
Rocky
Mount, NC - Freshman Deng Abiel scored in the 42nd minute off
an assist from Quinton Hurdle as Greensboro College
defeated Methodist University, 2-0, in the USA South Championship
Match at Scalf Field on Saturday. With the win, GC advances to its 13th
NCAA Division III men's soccer tournament in the past 14 years. It's
also the third straight year The Pride has won the tournament under
Coach Bill Brady. On each occasion, Greensboro has done so on a neutral
field or as the visitors.
The Pride (13-4-3) got an insurance goal late
in the game. After Troy Mellanson fired a
shot, Bobby Dabbs collected the rebound and fired into an open net for
the tally.
Methodist (12-7-1) played most of the second half with 10 men due to a
second yellow card. The Monarchs, however, had good scoring chance in
the 75th minute. GC defender George Bowen, however, cleared the ball
just before it reached the goal line.
GC keeper
Kurt Gardiner recorded his third shutout of the tournament to earn MVP
honors.
