CENTRAL, S.C. - Lee men's soccer coach Henry Moyo was deeply upset after his Flames dropped an SSAC contest to Southern Wesleyan University on Thursday evening by a 1-0 margin.
"It was one of my team's worst performances ever," stressed Moyo. "I'm really frustrated with my team at the present time. We came out acting like superstars and didn't put forth the effort it took to beat Southern Wesleyan. My hat is off to them. They shut us down and, in the first half, they put on a soccer clinic."
The two clubs, battling to stay in the conference hunt, were deadlocked at zero after the first 45 minutes. Seven minutes deep into the second half, Carlos Silver scored on an assist from Henry Villa Franco and that's all the Warriors needed in posting the key victory.
"We played like we were on vacation instead of a team fighting to stay in the conference race," admitted Moyo. "Overall the conference is getting stronger. Everyone knows who we are after we won the championship last year. They always put forth their best effort against us. We've got a lot of work ahead of us and hopefully, we can play better on Saturday afternoon."
Southern Wesleyan out shot the Flames 10-9. Lee's Luidgi Beauzile was credited with four saves. The defeat drops Lee to 3-5-2 overall but the Flames remain winless in the SSAC, 0-3. Southern Wesleyan is now 1-0-1 in conference play and 3-2-2 overall.
