Lemus' Late Goal Lifts Men's Soccer Over LaGrange

LAGRANGE, Ga. – Jorge Lemus scored the eventual game-winning goal late in the second half as William Peace topped LaGrange 2-1 on the road in men's soccer Saturday.

Lemus scored on Nathan Cochran's assist with just under 15 minutes remaining. The victory was a nice start to a two-game weekend road trip, which includes a matchup against Piedmont in Demorest, Ga., on Sunday at 1 p.m.

"It was a good gritty win for the team," WPU Head Coach Ryan Huber said. "LaGrange is a really hard working team that's difficult to break down, but I'm really proud of how the guys battled together to get a good road win!"

Lemus, who is the program's career goals leader, scored his third goal this season and it couldn't have come a better time. Ten minutes earlier, LaGrange tied the score after trailing 1-0 at the half.

Daniel Romanchok put the Pacers up 1-0 after scoring in the 22nd minute of the first half. Lemus assisted on Romanchok's goal, his first assist this season. Cochran's assist was his first this season as well.

The Pacers were aggressive offensively as they outshot LaGrange 11-6 and held a 4-3 edge in corner kicks. Defensively, goalkeeper Rafa Quevodo-Antunez tallied five saves.

This was the first meeting between both teams since 2019. William Peace holds a 4-0-3 series lead over LaGrange since 2014.
