The Montreat College men's soccer team kicked off its 2010 regular season Tuesday night against Emmanuel College in a match played at Owen High School in Black Mountain. With nine seniors gone from the 2009 squad, including well-known names like Shaka Bangura, Howard Fisher, and Stephen Jackson, the men's team had a lot to prove. And they did just that, earning a solid 2-0 victory against the Lions to mark a new era in Montreat soccer.
Of the opening victory, Head Coach Brenton Benware said, "It's great to start the regular season with a solid win and a shutout. Our fitness proved to be good and our offensive pressure was exciting for this point in the season."
