SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The men’s soccer team wrapped up their preseason training Saturday evening with an exhibition match against Presbyterian College. The match structure involved three 30 minute periods of play. The final after 90 minutes was 0-0 draw.

The Terriers used the last exhibition match to give every player as much field experience before regular season play started. 24 different players recorded significant playing time during the match, including freshman goalkeeper Ben Limbaugh. This was Limbaugh’s first opportunity to showcase his ability in front of the net. He played the last 45 minutes of the match and tallied four saves.

The club’s offense was very productive, but unable to put the finishing shot in goal. The Terriers totaled 16 total shots, with eight being on frame. Andrew Eppelsheimer led the team in shots with three and Armin Kinigadner was able to put the most shots on goal with two. Eppelsheimer had the squad’s best scoring opportunity with a penalty kick in the 27th minute of the second period, but it just barely nicked the left woodwork.

The defense, led by senior captain Randy McLeod was able to hold the Blue Hose scoreless throughout the entire 90 minutes. The defense was able to hold the opposing forces to only one goal in the entire 210 minutes played of the three preseason exhibition matches.

The Terriers open up regular season play this Thursday against the Midshipmen of the Naval Academy. The game will start at 7:00 pm in Annapolis, MD.
