Salkehatchie Men's Soccer Falls to Bob Jones University 5-1

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Salkehatchie men's soccer team absorbed a 5-1 loss in an away game today against Bob Jones University. Despite a promising start, injuries on the back line ultimately led to a late-game surge by the Bruins.

The Indians’ lone goal came midway through the first half. A well-executed play saw Melki Rivera connect with Alejandro Gomez, who then redirected the ball to an open Keniel Clervil in front of the Bruins' net. Clervil's goal gave the Indians an early lead and they maintained offensive pressure for most of the match.

However, the team’s injury-plagued defense eventually gave way, allowing Bob Jones to score five goals in the final 25 minutes of the game.

"Our midfield had been greatly assisting our patchwork back line for most of the game," said Coach Bill

Glass. "But a combination of factors, including a more aggressive approach by our opponent, exposed cracks in our defense which the Bruins skillfully exploited."

The Salkehatchie men's team will have one day to rest and regroup before their next match on Wednesday against the USC Sumter Fire Ants.
