ROME, Ga. – Fueled by two second-half goals, Berry's men's soccer increased its win streak to three games as it defeated Southern Athletic Association opponent Sewanee, 2-0, on Friday afternoon at Ford Field.

Sophomore Zak Wallingford got things rolling when he headed in junior's Matt Majestic's corner kick at 73:38 for his third goal of 2012.

About six minutes later, junior Matt Seib later earned his first goal of the season at 79:53 off a pass from freshman Caleb Lucas. Lucas secured the ball, evaded several Tigers, and found enough room to fire a left-footed shot.

Berry held Sewanee to three shots while managing to take 16. Freshman goalkeeper Logan Hill notched his seventh shutout of the season for the Vikings and made three saves. Jacob Zalewski took the loss for Sewanee and recorded six saves.

"It was a good, controlled header by Zak," said Berry Head Coach Richard Vardy. "And then the second goal was a quality finish by Matt Seib."

Berry upped its overall record to 10-3 and 3-1 in SAA competition. Sewanee dropped to 3-8-2 and 0-2-2.

The next game on Berry's schedule will be a crucial SAA matchup at Birmingham-Southern on Friday at 7 p.m. Currently Birmingham-Southern tops the SAA standings.
