Scots roll past Lambuth

JACKSON, Tenn. – Another TranSouth Conference game, another shutout for the Lyon College Scots.

The latest league shutout took placed on Saturday when the Scots held the Lambuth Eagles to only two shots on goal in a 1-0 win.

Lyon College’s shutout was its third of the season and its second straight over a conference foe. Previous shutout wins included 2-0 blankings of Central Baptist College and TranSouth opponent Crichton College.

Freshman Greg Buford scored the only goal of the game and his third of the season when Peter Smith found him with a pass in the 79^th minute.

Freshman Matt Callaway and junior Dustin Horton shared duties in goal again for the Scots and split the shutout. Horton (3-0-0) earned the win and had two saves.

Scots head coach Jeremy Bishop credited his defense and his midfield for playing a major role in the small amount of chances the Eagles got on goal.

"We started the year with just three players in the back," he said, "and lately we've been going with four. I think that's helped us cover more ground and keep the ball out of the net.

"Our midfielders have also done a tremendous job of picking up players," continued Bishop. "That's helped quite a bit with keeping the ball out of our side of the field."

Lyon College improves to 4-2-1 overall and stands at 2-0 in the league. The Scots host Freed Hardeman next for a TranSouth Conference affair on Sept. 19 at 2 p.m.
