LEXINGTON, VA. – The Wofford men's soccer team defeated VMI, 1-0 , on Tuesday afternoon in Lexington, Va.
 
The Terriers scored in the first ten minutes on Matthew Aurednik's seventh goal of the season and held on in the second half to defeat the Keydets for the second time this season.
 
Wofford has now won two straight games and earned its tenth win of the season, while climbing above .500 in Southern Conference play.
 
The Terriers took control of the action from the very beginning, as Aurednik's eighth minute goal is the earliest the Terriers have scored all season. He was assisted on the goal by Connor Donohue, who leads the team with five assists in 2016.
 
While Wofford jumped out to an early lead, they were unable to capitalize on numerous scoring chances despite holding a 10-5 shot advantage.
 
The Keydets fought hard in the second half, and even had a good chance to tie the game late, but Grant Austin's shot in the 78^th minute deflected off the post and out of harm's way to keep the Terriers in the lead, 1-0.
 
Wofford was able to hold off VMI in the final minutes and improve its Southern Conference record to 5-4 with one regular season game remaining.
 
Lucas Altman recorded a career high seven shots in the contest, while the Terriers attempted 22 shots as a team. The team's 22 shot attempts is their 2^nd most of the season, trailing only the 24 they took at home against VMI on Oct. 1.
 
 Up next, the Terriers will conclude their regular season slate this Saturday, Oct. 29, as they host Furman at 6 p.m. Eight Wofford seniors will be honored prior to the game.
