(ASHLAND, Va.) – Senior night was spoiled for Randolph-Macon as Lynchburg scored a 2-1 decision at Nunnally Field on Sunday evening. The result snapped a three-game win streak for the Yellow Jackets with one game remaining in the adjusted regular season.

The Basics

Score: Randolph-Macon 1, Lynchburg 2

Venue: Nunnally Field.

Records: R-MC 4-2, 4-2 ODAC; Lynchburg 5-1-1, 5-1-1 ODAC

How It Happened

• Lynchburg struck early as Luke Mega scored in the 11th minute on an assist from Kenny Robles. From there it was a conservative game with few offensive opportunities by either team for the rest of the half. As a result the Hornets kept the 1-0 lead through halftime.
• The Hornets added a second score midway through the second as Brennan Lagana scored from a Josh Auger assist.
• A late rally was triggered by the Jackets as they finally got on the board late. Fittingly, it was a pair of seniors that set up the goal Ruben Niamien (Fredericksburg, Va. / Chancellor) scored his fourth of the season thanks to an assist from Olo Sembera (Lima, Peru / George Mason). It ended up being the last opportunity for the Jackets, however, as the Hornets prevented the hosts from taking another shot.

Inside The Numbers

• Lynchburg held a 14-7 advantage on shots. Of the 21 takes, eight were on goal. R-MC's Anthony  Ivanov (So., North Brunswick, N.J. / Immaculata) made three saves while the two others belonged to the Hornets.
• Niamien has now scored four goals in the past four games.

Up Next

The regular season will conclude this Thursday as the Jackets square off against more Hornets, this time at Shenandoah. Kickoff is currently scheduled for 4 p.m.
