MOUNT VERNON, Ga. - The Barons Men's Soccer team traveled to Tennessee for two road games, stopping to play Bethel University first. The Barons did their best but were outmatched from start to finish and suffered a tough 8-0 loss to the Bethel University.

Coach Bob Neuman shared his thoughts after the game with us. "We lacked personality, passion, and character in the first half. If we're going to grow into the team we want to be, we will need to prove our quality on a nightly basis. The guys will take the brighter pieces and positive performance in the second half into the next game."

The Barons held off the Wildcats for 17 minutes before the floodgates opened. They faced a barrage of shots in the first half and gave up six goals.
