WEST POINT, Ga. (Oct. 28, 2023) - The Point University Men's Soccer team returned to the pitch for a Southern States Athletic Conference matchup against Life University where the stakes were high in a win-or-go-home situation where the Skyhawks fell 7-3 against Life.  

The first started in favor of Life as the Running Eagles scored their first two goals in the first six minutes.

Point would eventually find their back by now trailing by one as Zane Whitehead scored the goal for the Skyhawks. Life added fuel to the fire by taking the following two scores to go into the break with a 4-1 lead. 

The second half took 43 seconds for the Running Eagles to add another score as Life extended their lead by four. Point continued to find ways to add their energy to retaliate but the Running Eagles' momentum kicked in at the perfect time as two more goals brought the score 7-1. Brandon Cervantes wiped away the six-point deficit as he scored the second goal for the Skyhawks which was followed by a goal from Alejandro Schmidt to end the game with a 7-3 score.
