Hatley Nets Two as Bearcats Down Hurricanes in Road Finale

AMERICUS, Ga. - Christian Hatley (Nottingham, England) netted two goals within the first 20 minutes as the Lander Men's Soccer team picked up their second road win of the week by topping the Georgia Southwestern Hurricanes by a score of 3-1.

The Bearcats extended their unbeaten run to seven with their third straight win, improving to 7-4-4 overall and 6-1-2 in PBC play. The Blue and Gold control their own destiny for a first round bye in the PBC Tournament heading into the regular season finale against North Georgia on Wednesday.

Lander struck early as a long ball over the top would eventually find the foot of Rob Dymond (Auckland, New Zealand) who rocketed a cross in across the face of the net right to Christian Hatley (Nottingham, England) for his ninth goal of the season to give the visitors a 1-0 less than ten minutes in.

Less than ten minutes later, Hatley would secure a brace as the Bearcats capitalized off a Hurricane turnover to double the lead.

Between the posts, Juan Rodriguez (Nebo, N.C.) made three saves in the first half to preserve the two-goal advantage going into halftime.

Just under five minutes into the second half, a saved Zach Meyer (Brick Township, N.J.) shot was fumbled by the goalkeeper right to Dymond who slotted home the third goal of the game for Lander.

Georgia Southwestern would score with just over ten minutes left but the Bearcat defense only allowed one shot the rest of the way to keep the Hurricanes at arm's length to secure the win.

The regular season wraps up for the Blue and Gold on Wednesday as they face the North Georgia Nighthawks in a game that will decide who gets a bye into the PBC Tournament Semifinals. The game is scheduled for a 5:00 PM kickoff with senior night ceremonies to precede the game.
