Men's Soccer Clips Falcons to Advance to GSC Semifinals

MONTEVALLO, Ala. -- A Phillip Spickenbaum goal in the 28th minute of the contest proved to be all the Auburn University at Montgomery men's soccer team needed to clip the University of Montevallo Falcons for the second time in a one-week span.

Spickenbaum tallied his sixth goal of the season, Aristarchus Oluwatuyi added a 52nd-minute header to notch his sixth goal of the year, and goalkeeper Alexander Kraus posted his third clean sheet of the campaign.

The Warhawks advance to the Gulf South Conference semifinals for the second consecutive season.
