LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. – The Covenant College Men's Soccer Team (2-5) picked up a 2-0 victory over Emory & Henry College (2-6-1) Wednesday evening at Scotland Yard.

Five and a half minutes later (58:33), Matt Hudnut was able to get Covenant's second goal of the match. Hudnut dribbled past the defense and ricocheted a shot off the far post and past the keeper.
The score would remain 2-0 for the rest of the match as neither team was able to find the goal in the final half hour.
Covenant goalkeeper Shuler Polk picked up the shutout as he made three saves on the night. E&H senior Justin Spencer (Statesville, N.C.) made 10 saves despite the loss.
