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.
Carson-Newman (3-9-3, 3-6-1 SAC) scored its latest goal of the season at the best time. Antoine Torrent booted home an 86th minute to lift C-N past Tusculum 2-1 on Wednesday night at McCown Field.
Carson-Newman (2-9-3, 2-6-1 SAC) reset season-highs in shots and shots on goal, but was shutout by fifth-ranked Anderson (9-1-4, 6-1-2 SAC) on Saturday night at McCown Field.
In the highest scoring game of the South Atlantic Conference season, it was Lincoln Memorial (5-7-1, 5-2-1 SAC) overcoming a pair of deficits to defeat Carson-Newman (1-8-3, 1-5-1 SAC) 4-3 on Wednesday night in Harrogate.
For the second time in conference play this season, Carson-Newman (1-7-3, 1-4-1 SAC) fell behind early because of a pair of goals and never recovered, falling to Lenoir-Rhyne (5-4-2, 4-2-2 SAC) 3-0 on Saturday evening at McCown Field.
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.
Carson-Newman (1-5-2, 1-2 SAC) scored an early and late goal to take down one of the 29 remaining unbeaten teams in DII, defeating Newberry (4-1-1, 1-1-1 SAC) 2-1 on Saturday evening at the Smith Road Complex.
In its final non-conference game of the season, Carson-Newman (0-5-2) played the final 70 minutes at a disadvantage and saw Montevallo (1-2-2) score three unanswered goals to drop a Monday afternoon affair at McCown Field.
Because of a weather delay with the women’s soccer game, Carson-Newman (0-4-2, 0-2 SAC) and Coker (1-0-3, 1-0 SAC) kicked off two hours after originally scheduled start time. The Cobras scored a late goal to sneak past C-N 1-0 on a late Saturday evening at Coker’s Athletic Field.
Carson-Newman (0-2-2, 0-1 SAC) was unable to overcome two early goals from Catawba (3-1, 1-0 SAC), falling in its home and South Atlantic Conference opener Saturday night 2-1 at McCown Field.
Carson-Newman (0-1-2) and West Alabama (0-2-1) both scored first-half goals, but neither side could find a second half game-winner in a 1-1 tie on Wednesday afternoon at the Jerry F. Smith Track and Field Complex.
Carson-Newman (0-1-1) and Alabama Huntsville (1-0-1) scored second half goals less than eight minutes apart, but neither was able to find a game-winner and the two sides played to a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon at Charger Park.
