BETHANY, W. Va.– Bethany scored the lone goal of the game in the second minute of the second half to claim a 1-0 shutout victory over the Washington & Jefferson men's soccer team Wednesday evening.
 
Early onset offensive pressure was the name of the game for both units in the first 45 minutes of play, loading up for a total of 22 total shots in the first half. Both units' offensive attempts were held at bay by each backline to enter the half tied 0-0.
 
Quickly exiting halftime, the Bison logged the first and only goal of the game to gain a 1-0 lead. Despite putting up 14 shots in the the remainder of the half, W&J couldn't find the back of the net to negate Bethany's 1-0 leg up.
 
Bethany rode the slim 1-0 lead until the final buzzer where the Presidents would pick up the loss ending their two-game win streak.
 
The Presidents outshot the Bison 24-19 overall, but Bethany had the upper hand in shots on goal, 13-8. Bethany also held the advantage in corner kicks, 5-3.
