MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - The Berry College Vikings emerged victorious over the Piedmont University Lions with a decisive 2-0 win. 

From the very beginning, Berry College asserted their control over the match as they searched for their first win of the season. Despite some early resistance from Piedmont, the Vikings' relentless pressure paid off in the 37th minute when Tracy Moon, with a brilliant assist from Dylan Bloch, put Berry ahead with a stunning goal. 

Berry's defense, led by the rock-solid Cooper Cherry in goal, was impenetrable throughout the game. Cherry's crucial saves kept the Lions at bay, including a particularly impressive stop against a close-range shot from Piedmont's Knight Davis. 

The second half saw the Vikings continuing their dominance, maintaining the ball for majority of the time. Notably, the introduction of Nate Dulin paid off. After coming on as a substitute, Dulin found the back of the net in the 60th minute with a superb finish, sealing the match and securing Berry's 2-0 lead.

While Piedmont had moments where they looked threatening, such as a couple of near misses and a few shots that tested Berry's defense, they were ultimately thwarted by the Vikings' resolute backline and excellent goalkeeping. The Lions' attempts to stage a comeback were consistently met with strong resistance from Berry.

The Vikings are back in action at Pearson Field on Friday at 4 PM ET to take on the Mountaineers of Berea College.
