Griffin Leads Men's Soccer Team To Victory At Toccoa Falls

With an impressive four goals for the second straight match Drew Griffin led the Piedmont College men's soccer team past host Toccoa Falls College tonight in Toccoa, GA by the score of 7-2. The Lions took control early scoring three goals in the first 21 minutes and then tacking on four insurance goals after intermission to cruise to the five-goal victory.

The victory moves PC to an even 4-4 overall and drops Toccoa Falls to 5-4-1 on the year. The Lions will look for their third straight win this Saturday, September 23rd as they resume Great South Athletic Conference play against visiting Huntingdon College at Walker Field starting at 3:30.

Griffin got the Lions on the board at the 4th minute and Srecko Trupina added a goal of his own just one minute later. After TFC moved within one goal at the 16th minute, Griffin notched the eventual game-winner at the 21st minute.

Despite a Toccoa Falls goal at the 49th minute, Trupina and Jorge Pradilla added solo goals and Griffin struck twice more to cushion the lead. Jeremy Stille chipped in with three assists and between the posts Patrick Ratigan recorded seven saves on nine shots.
