WILSON, N.C. - The Barton men's soccer team (6-6-3, 5-4-3) took down Francis Marion (11-4-2, 7-3-1), 1-0, Wednesday evening in a pivotal Conference Carolinas contest at the Bulldogs Athletic Complex.

The Bulldogs scored the lone goal when junior forward Bruno Marques (Piracicaba, BRAZIL) found the back of the net after connecting on a blocked shot in the 25th minute of the match.

The goal was Marques' fourth of the season.  Barton freshman forward Romeo Verhage (Aigues, SPAIN) was credited with the assist.

Barton also remained unbeaten in its last seven matches - 5-0-2 - and won despite Francis Marion's 20-11 advantage in shots taken on the night.

Barton junior goalkeeper Devin Agostinelli (Apex, N.C.) earned the win after stopping four shots while Francis Marion's Vincent Sanchis (Valencia, SPAIN) suffered the loss in goal despite three saves.
