On September 25, 2010 the Lions hosted first year program, Talladega College. In a game that saw the Soccer Lions tally 43 total shots, 26 of which were on goal, EC earned a victory 7-0. The shot total is the highest amount the Lions have tallied all season. Six different Soccer Lions found the back of the net: leading the way was Jorge Paseta(JR) with 2 goals. Ben Malone(FR), Sebastian Paz(SR), Andres Mora(FR), Edward Ameyaw(SO), and Shezti Heu(SR) all added a goal apiece.
On September 28, 2010 the Soccer Lions travelled to Swannanoa, North Carolina to face Warren Wilson College and came away victorious 4-0. The Fighting Owls of WWC put up a stubborn defensive effort which seemed to frustrate the Soccer Lions until Alex Wright(FR) broke through on an great individual effort and scored in the 25th minute to take the score to 1-0. EC struck again just 3 minutes later when Eddie Green(FR) crossed a ball into the 6yd box that found Jonathan Faile's(FR) head to redirect into the back of the net. The Lions took the 2-0 lead into the half-time break.
After the break, the Lions started the 2nd period strong putting a barrage of crosses and shots on goal that seemed to be too much for WWC. As the Fighting Owls began to wear down, Emmanuel's Ben Malone(FR) added two more goals to put the game out of reach. Shezti Heu(SR) and Andres Mora(FR) each tallied an assist on Malone's goals.
In the three matches the Lions tallied 66 shots while only conceding 3 shots. These wins and goal totals have taken the 2010 Lions beyond their 2009 season records, showing the vast improvements the program continues to make.
Head Coach Borchers added "I'm very happy with our attacking rhythm right now. We are scoring goals now and this has been a problem for us in the past. The boys are continuing to gain confidence and that is important as we begin our Southern States Conference play next week!"
The Lions will open up SSAC play October 9th when they host Southern Polytechnic State University at 4pm.
