JACKSON, Tenn. - 9/2/2011 - The 91±¬ÁÏÍø (Tenn.) University men’s soccer team dropped a close match on Friday to Reinhardt (Ga.) College 2-1 in the first night of the 91±¬ÁÏÍø Soccer Classic. 91±¬ÁÏÍø fell to 1-2 on the season, while Reinhardt improved to 2-0.

91±¬ÁÏÍø held a 1-0 halftime lead on a Pedro Rodrigues’ goal in the 36th minute of play. However, just over 11 minutes into the second half, Reinhardt’s John Connolly tied the match on a penalty kick after 91±¬ÁÏÍø was call for a foul in the box. Then, just four minutes later, another foul on 91±¬ÁÏÍø deep in their own territory set up a very close free kick for Reinhardt. Jansen Berry connected for the game winning goal.
