SOUTHWESTERN MEN DEFEAT OGLETHORPE 3-0 BEHIND TWO GOALS BY HOLLEMAN

ATLANTA, Ga. – The Pirate men’s soccer team picked up their second win of the weekend behind two goals by junior Tom Holleman (pictured). Southwestern shutout Oglethorpe 3-0 to improve to 7-9 overall and 3-5 in the conference while the Petrels fall to 6-10-2 overall and 1-7-1 in the SCAC.

It took just over two minutes for the Pirates to capture the lead when senior Josh Spencer scored unassisted and gave SU the 1-0 lead. Holleman scored his first goal of the match in the 28th minute with a pass from junior Tim Hord to put Southwestern up 2-0 going into halftime.

The second half was scoreless most of the way until Holleman found the back of the net one more time in the 80th minute on a pass from first-year John Brodt for the insurance goal to put SU up 3-0.

Southwestern outshot the Petrets 15-7 on the afternoon and had five more corners (7-2). Sophomore keeper Nick Pierce logged his third shutout of the season recording three saves on the afternoon.
