NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Rob Ward (SR/York, England) scored his second goal of the year with the first assist of the year from Liam Roche (SO/Northhampton, England) to give Trevecca (4-4-1, 2-0-1 G-MAC) a 1-0 conference win over visiting Alderson Broaddus University (3-6, 2-2 G-MAC).

The Trojans will host Davis & Elkins College (2-4-1, 2-1 G-MAC) on Saturday at 4 p.m.

Ward scored the game winner at 19:12 of the first half on a nice assist from Roche. Trojan keeper Braydon Brown (SR/Brownsburg, Ind.) made it stand up with four saves.

Ward's goal came after a quick free kick, "It was a bit of a surprise, Liam just put the ball in and it was a simple finish."

The win puts Trevecca into a tie for the lead the best record in the G-MAC and in the Southwest division. The Trojans have won two in a row, both in conference play.

Trevecca is 1-1 all-time versus ABU after the Battlers defeated Trevecca 4-3 last year in West Virginia. The Trojans are 1-0 versus the D&E Senators who visit Saturday. TNU won 2-1 at D&E last year in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
