Saints rally

falls short

The comeback bid by the Limestone College men's soccer team came up short tonight, September 4, as they dropped a 3-2 decision at regional powerhouse Wingate University.

The Saints, forced to play shorthanded in the second half, had opportunities to erase a 2-1 halftime deficit as they outshot the Bulldogs 7-6 in the last 45 minutes.

However, they were not able to capitalize on the momentum gained by a late goal as the potential tying shot sailed high with under four minutes to play. With the loss, Limestone drops to 1-1 on the year while the Bulldogs improve to 2-0.
