FAYETTEVILLE — The Lynchburg-Clay Mustangs were unable to overcome a strong first half by the Fayetteville Rocket and with that, they suffered their first loss of the season, dropping the Southern Hills League match 3-1 Saturday at FHS.
LC (0-1, 1-1) was unable to stop Fayetteville's Christian Connor in the first half as he scored three goals in a span of two minutes. Connor beat the LC defense all three times at the 26:49, 25:51 and 24:50 marks of the first half.
"Giving up three goals in two minutes is simply unacceptable," LC coach Dennis West said. "We played good soccer except for those two minutes.
