Eagles and Bob Jones Tie for the First Time in History

Game Recap:
After a 4-1 win over Tougaloo, the Eagles prepared to face South Region opponent Bob Jones University. With the match history between BJU and PCC being at five wins a piece each team looked to secure the sixth win of this matchup. With a quick possessive start from Bob Jones, the Eagles had to regain their confidence, ultimately ending the match in a 0-0 tie.

With both teams recording five wins in the match history, tonight was a night of breaking the tie, but through defensive and possession balance the teams ultimately ended the match with the first tie in BJU v. PCC history! While the Bruins started the game possessing the ball at a higher percentage than the Eagles, PCC had to work their way into the game and give themselves opportunities to break the tie. After a strong closing to the second half, the teams entered halftime with a 0-0 tie on the scoreboard. Immediately after halftime, the Bruins once again came out with focused possessions and attempts to score. Between the 63rd and 65th minute of the game, the Bruins totaled 4 corner attempts. While being aggressive offensively, the Eagles' defense and goalkeeping were resilient and stood strong withstanding the offensive push from the Bruins. When the final horn sounded, the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Leading the Eagles tonight from his goalie box was junior Bryce Hammond who recorded his third-highest save total of the season with 6 saves in his 90 minutes played!
