BELMONT, N.C. – The Barton men's soccer team (2-1, 2-0) made it two victories in a row with a 1-0 shutout win over Belmont Abbey (0-4, 0-1) Saturday evening in a Conference Carolinas match at Alumni Field.
Barton senior forward
Luis Hernandez Velasco (Guadarrama, SPAIN) scored the lone goal of the match on a penalty kick at the 19:59 mark of the first half.
Velasco scored for the second straight match while the Crusaders remained winless on the season despite holding a 13-7 advantage in shots taken in the setback.
