BANNER ELK, N.C. (Oct. 6, 2018) â€" The Milligan College men's soccer team took to the road Saturday for a nonconference match against NCAA Division II member Lees-McRae College, but the Buffaloes came away with a 3-0 loss to the Bobcats.
 
The loss put Milligan at 4-5-1 this season while Lees-McRae continued its hot streak to improve to 6-4-1. LMC has now won three straight and five of the last six.
 
Lees-McRae jumped on the board in the fifth minute and led the rest of the way. Although Milligan kept it 1-0 for the remainder of the first half, Lees-McRae scored again in the 52nd and 60th minutes to open up its lead.
 
Milligan was outshot 21-5 in the loss, including 7-2 on shots on goal. Freshman goalkeeper Andrew Russell, in his collegiate debut, made four saves. Lees-McRae also held a 5-2 advantage on corner kicks.
