Warhawks Open GSC Play with Shutout Win Over Lee

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The No. 11 Auburn University at Montgomery Warhawks men's soccer team (4-1-0, 1-0-0 GSC) opened Gulf South Conference play with a 1-0 victory over Lee University (3-1-2, 0-1-0 GSC) Saturday night at the AUM Soccer Stadium.

COACH THORNE'S COMMENTS
"Proud of this group. Any game in the GSC is tough, especially the opener against a very good side. Getting the win and the clean sheet was quality. For me, that was a fantastic team performance. We created so many chances and could have won by a lot more. The fact we can rotate so many players that can come in and give us a different dynamic will be vital down the stretch."

HOW IT HAPPENED
First Half
AUM controlled much of the opening half, creating several opportunities while keeping Lee off the scoreboard. The Warhawks recorded eight shots and six corner kicks during the opening 45 minutes, while goalkeeper Jakob Buhrkuhl made one save to keep the match scoreless.

AUM continued to pressure the Flames late in the half, but the two teams entered the break tied 0-0.

Second Half
The Warhawks broke through in the 57th minute when Alan De Paula found the back of the net at the 56:36 mark. Malik Mawd and Luke Hammons were credited with assists on the game-winning goal, giving AUM a 1-0 advantage.

AUM continued to create chances throughout the remainder of the match, recording 13 second-half shots and earning four corner kicks. Lee managed just two shots in the second half, with Buhrkuhl making another save to preserve the shutout.

The Warhawks held on through the final whistle to secure their first GSC victory of the season.

NOTABLES
  • AUM outshot Lee 21-6.
  • The Warhawks held a 6-2 advantage in shots on goal.
