GREENWOOD, Ind. – Three Carson-Newman men’s soccer players were recognized on the 2025 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon.
For the second straight season, Carson-Newman (2-8-3, 2-5-1 SAC) will play as host to a top-five team as it battles fifth-ranked Anderson (8-1-4, 5-1-2 SAC) for Senior Day on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.
Entering Friday night’s action, no team in the South Atlantic Conference had tied more games in league play than Mars Hill. Carson-Newman (1-6-3, 1-3-1 SAC) helped add to that ledger, seeing Mars Hill (3-2-6, 1-1-4 SAC) score an equalizing goal with 11 seconds left in the first half, which turned out to be the final goal of the match in a 1-1 tie at Meares Stadium.
Talon Talk from the Eagle Sports Network features a walk and talk with a student-athlete at Carson-Newman. On this edition, we feature men's soccer graduate student defender Jakob Lechner.
