The Lancaster Bible College Men's Soccer team hosted York (Pa.) on Saturday afternoon as LBC Athletics celebrated their Alumni Appreciation game, with the Chargers falling by a score of 2-0. The Chargers move to 2-2-1 overall while the Spartans improve to 3-1-2 overall.
 
How it Happened:
The Spartans struck just four minutes into the game as they moved the ball into the box for a header goal to take an early 1-0 lead. The Chargers drew the first corner kick of the game 15 minutes in, then the Spartans earned a corner the next minute. Senior Ben Nolt had a shot from just outside the box that was saved by the Spartan keeper, then Chargers goalie Micah Dressler had a pair of saves to keep York (Pa.) off the board. Nolt had another shot later that missed high and Dressler made two more saves as the half winded down at a 1-0 deficit for Lancaster Bible.
 
Dressler made a save for the Chargers in the first two minutes of the second half, then Nolt had a shot blocked as the Chargers pressed into the box. The teams went back and forth in the midfield for a long time in the second half with neither getting a good scoring opportunity, with several presses into the box for the Chargers but no good looks. With two minutes to go, York (Pa.) iced the game with a goal on a fast break to end the game 2-0 and give the Chargers their first loss at home this season.

- The Spartans had 16 shots to the Chargers' five and led 3-2 in corner kicks
