DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Freshman Ricardo
Pierre-Louis (Leogane, Haiti) recorded his 39th goal of the season to
lead No. 14-seed Lee (Tenn.) to a 1-0 victory against No. 19-seed Virginia
Intermont in the 47th Annual NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship
held on the campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Wednesday
afternoon.
Lee's Christopher Walker (Manchester, England) drew goalkeeper
Daniel Schenkel (Campo Verde, Brazil) out of goal and slid a pass to
Pierre-Louis who hit a sliding kick past a diving Virginia Intermont
defender in the 13th minute.
Virginia Intermont mounted a offensive charge for the equalizer
holding a commanding 17-9 shot advantage, but couldn't capitalize as
Lee's Tuda Murphy (Caymand Islands) stopped all six shots on goal.
The game was a very physical contest with a combined 33 fouls and four yellow cards.
