No. 23 Knights Blank Bucs 1-0

Andrew Ballard took two shots in the Bucs' 1-0 loss to No. 23 Lynn Sunday afternoon.
MEMPHIS—A 33rd-minute goal by Kyle Conrad lifted No. 23 Lynn to a 1-0 victory over the Christian Brothers University Bucs Sunday afternoon at Echles Field on the University of Memphis campus.

Conrad capitalized on a cross from Harold Gracholski, putting the ball past CBU keeper Jaime Garcia (San Salvador, El Salvador/Lincoln School) for the game-winner to lift the Knights to a 2-0 start.

From there, the Bucs (0-2) held their ground defensively, with Garcia and second-half goalkeeper Daniel Johnson (Lafayette, La./Lafayette HS) combining for 10 saves, plus an 11th from defender Paul O'Neill (Falkirk, Scotland/St. Mungo's HS), who headed away a Luke Magill shot in the 88th minute.  Lynn goalkeeper Alessandro Salvatore made two saves as he earned his first shutout of the year.

For the game, the Knights out-shot CBU 24-10, including a 12-2 edge in shots on goal.

The Bucs hit the road next weekend for a pair of games in northeastern Georgia.  They visit Young Harris Friday at 4 p.m., and they take on Lander at Young Harris Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.  Their return to Signaigo Field is set for Friday night, Sept. 17, when they face Rhodes at 7 p.m.
