Box Score GREENWOOD – The Lander men's soccer team downed Francis Marion at Van Taylor Stadium Monday night behind freshman Marco Gueli's first goal as a Bearcat, sending the Patriots home with a 1-0 loss.

Although only scoring one goal, Lander fired 11 shots with six finding their way to goal. Francis Marion only took five shots with one reaching goal.
In the 84th minute, Gueli received a pass from junior Joe Linley before curling just above the box to let loose a shot that blazed past the Francis Marion keeper to give Lander its 1-0 edge.
Junior Jacob Withers collected his first win and clean sheet of the season with the win.
The Bearcats are back in action on February 15 as they host Georgia Southwestern.
