MOUNT VERNON, Ga. - Brewton-Parker Christian University's men's soccer team faced a challenging home defeat against Pensacola Christian College Eagles on September 25, 2025, with a final score of 3-2 in favor of the visitors.

The first half saw Brewton-Parker taking the lead, as Andre Xavier scored the opening goal. Lazar Milosavljevic and Lucca Lagana used some crafty give-and-go passes to create the scoring chance. At halftime, the Barons were ahead with a 1-0 lead. The team's defense saw Will Bayles make a notable save, keeping them in a favorable position till the end of the first half.

In the second half, the game's dynamic shifted dramatically. Though Will Bayles managed to extend the lead with a penalty kick early in the game, Pensacola Christian launched a robust comeback. Odanci Ndayisaba's game-winning goal was part of a three-goal rally by the Eagles, overturning Brewton-Parker's initial lead and concluding the match with a 3-2 victory for the visitors. Brewton-Parker's current season record now stands at 1-7-0, with conference losses at 0-2.

Head Coach Bob Nuemann shared his thoughts on the team's performance. "Tonight, we lacked composure in the moments that mattered. To have created as many chances as we did and not take them is a shame for the people who came to watch us play. We're too good a team not to be more entertaining. We apologize to all of those who came out." The Barons struggled to reach their coach's expectations and will look to regroup before their next game.

Looking ahead, the Barons are set to host Thomas University in Mount Vernon on September 27, 2025, as they look to rebound from this setback and improve their standing as the season progresses.
