BOX SCORE

FARMVILLE, Va.  -- Darnell Carroll booted in two goals in the first  10 minutes of play for Gardner-Webb, sending the Bulldogs on top of Longwood University tonight 2-0 at Lancer Field.  After the loss, the Lancers fall to 3-7 and the Bulldogs jump to 4-2.  Longwood returns to action this weekend, facing Radford on Saturday at 7 p.m..

Carroll first put Gardner-Webb on the board at the 3:34 mark off of a corner from Brian Wentzel and cross from Sergio Lozano.  Carroll's second goal came less than five minutes later when he booted the ball into the ball of the cage from the top of the box.

Longwood came out strong in the second half, putting on the pressure with a solid defensive performance led by Oliver Denal (Denmark/Lyngby Handelsskolen), Chris Miller (Chesapeake, Va./Hickory) and Dana Shaffer (Norfolk, Va./Maury)  and only allowed Gardner-Webb three shots.  Despite 11 attempts in the final period, the Lancers couldn't convert their shots and were left scoreless against the Bulldogs.

Leading the Lancers' offensive efforts were Stuart Bertsch (Norfolk, Va./Maury) with five shots, followed by James Agorsor (Gambrills, Md./South River) with four and Adonis Stowers (Hampton, Va./Phoebus) with three.  Longwood held the advantage over Gardner-Webb in shots (18-9) and corner kicks (11-4).  The match proved to be a physical one with 45 fouls called between the two teams.

Longwood split time in the net between Bryan Sanford (Springfield, Va./West Springfield) who had one save and Justin Brock (Palo Alto, Calif./Palo Alto) who had three saves.  Bulldog keeper Tyler Kettering tallied four saves.
