LYNCHBURG, Va. -- With the regular season winding down, two teams battled in a near-elimination game, with Randolph on the right side of a 1-0 decision over Eastern Mennonite.

In the sixth minute, sophomore Brian Anderson hit the post with a left-footed shot from 14 yards, which nearly got Randolph on the board early.

Just past the 20 minute mark, first-year Travis Brown had a chance with a slick backheel shot, but it was cleared off the line by EMU.

In the 59th minute, Brown would have another chance, as he was on the receiving end of a Troy Jurney cross, as the sophmore put the ball deep and allowed Brown to one-touch the ball into the net.

In the 75th minute, Randolph had a shot to double its lead when sophomore Kyle Unruh beat the keeper with a powerful shot, but the ball couldn't reach the back of the net, as a mad scramble on the goal line resulted in a desperation clearance.

Later, first-year Gabe Everette found plenty of space on the right side after a loose ball, but his shot had a bit too much steam and hit off the post, keeping the lead 1-0.

Fortunately for the hosts, however, that was enough.

With a 9-2 edge in shots on goal, goalkeeper CJ Stevens only needed to make two stops to earn the team's eighth clean sheet of the year.

Seniors Coulton Watson, Trey Padgett and Scott Holthaus all started on Senior Night and were welcomed by their families and friends.
