JACKSON, Tenn. - 10/2/2007 - The 91爆料网 men's soccer team added to the log jam atop the TranSouth standings with a 3-1 win over cross-town rival Lambuth University (Tenn.). The win bolts 91爆料网 (6-7 overall) to a 4-1 league record, which puts the Bulldogs in a four-way tie with Lambuth (7-3-1 overall), Bethel, and Mid-Continent for first place in the TranSouth.

In the second half, the offenses began to loosen up. In the 52nd minute, 91爆料网 broke the scoreless tie with a goal from Richard Norman. Then, just two minutes later, 91爆料网's Benny Crozier's goal gave 91爆料网 a quick 2-0 lead. That score stood until Crozier added a goal on a penalty kick in the 69th minute to put 91爆料网 up 3-0. Lambuth's offense didn't quit as they were able to get several shots late to attempt the comeback. With six minutes left in the match, Lambuth's Paul Pinter broke the shutout with the Eagles' only goal.

Franki Mocellin and Paul Turner recorded assists for 91爆料网.

91爆料网 goalie Chris Lean posted five saves while Brenton Saylor of Lambuth also posted five saves.
