WALESKA, Ga. - Trevecca's men's soccer team (4-5-1) traveled to
Waleska, Ga. to take on Reinhardt College (6-3) on Tuesday, earning a win over the Eagles, who are receiving votes in the latest top 25 poll.
 
Neither team was able to find the net in the first half, with Trojan netminder Hayden Coffman stopping two Reinhardt shots in the first half, and Eagle keeper Zack Shultze stopping three Trevecca shots. In the 66th minute, Reinhardt's Padraig McDonagh opened the scoring, beating Coffman to give the Eagles the 1-0 lead. Sam Madeley netted the equalizer in the 75th minute, tying the game at 1-1. Reinhardt took a 2-1 lead in the 82nd minute when Spencer Davidson scored, but just over two minutes later, Mark Foster scored the tying goal on a penalty kick to send the match into overtime. The teams battled into a second extra session, and in the 107th minute John Sheets netted his second goal in as many games, this time a game winner to send the Trojans back to Nashville with a 3-2 win. Coffman finished the match with five saves.
 
The Trojans will host senior day festivities on Thursday when the Hornets of Concordia-Selma come to Nashville. The match will be the last home match in a Trojan uniform for Foster, Maky Said, Brad Camp, Paul Butchard, Gift Ndam, and Matthew Marrotte.
