DANVILLE, Va. — The Averett University men's soccer team lost to Covenant College, 4-1, on Friday evening on Daly Field at Frank R. Campbell Stadium.

Covenant (9-1-1, 6-0 USA South) got on the board first with a header in the sixth minute. Averett (3-9, 1-6 USA South) tied it up at 1-1 shortly after as sophomore Ty Michelson scored on a free kick in the 10th minute. However, the Scots regained the lead with another goal in the 27th minute. Covenant pulled away from there, scoring two second-half goals to seal the game.

Michelson's goal was his second of the season, with the other one also coming on a free kick. Sophomores Johnny Kummander and Baste Endresen each led the team with two shots on the day. In goal, junior Colton Dutchess made 10 saves.
