Erskine edges Belmont Abbey 1-0

Box Score Belmont, N.C. – Playing in a steady downpour, the Erskine Flying Fleet (3-3-1, 2-0) scored the game-winning goal with less than eleven minutes left to play to edge the Crusaders of Belmont Abbey College 1 to 0 in Conference Carolinas men's soccer action at Alumni Field.

Sophomore Ross Henderson (Lincoln, England, William Farr C of E) broke the scoreless tie when he broke free and beat the Abbey keeper Kyle Searles one-on-one.  For Henderson, it was his second goal of the season.

On the defensive side, Erskine goalkeeper Roberto De La Vina (Oviedo, Spain, San Ignacio) recorded 9 saves on 17 shots to stretch his scoreless streak to 360 minutes.  It is the third consecutive shutout for De La Vina and the Flying Fleet.

The Abbey held a one shot advantage in shots at 17 to 16.

Erskine will step out of conference this weekend to host Palm Beach Atlantic on Saturday.  Kick-off is set for 4:30 p.m.
