Cavaliers inch closer to an AAC Championship; defeat Bryan College, 1-0

On the heels of their first ever national ranking, the Cavaliers defeated Bryan College in one of the most important AAC matchups this season. Prior to tonight, Bryan College sat as the only unbeaten team in the AAC; with this win, Montreat now is tied with Bryan at the helm of the AAC. However, Montreat has set an impressive table for itself: October 17th against Union College is the final game of the regular season- home game, senior day. If the Cavaliers defeat Union, who has not won a conference game this season, they will become the outright 2007 Appalachian Athletic Conference Champions, regardless of Bryan’s remaining outcome. “Tonight, we talked about family, about being a support system to each other, and the guys went out there tonight and backed that talk up,” exclaimed Coach Combs immediately following the game, “this was possibly the best game I have ever been a part of.”

The only goal of the game came from Kemar Brown, who according to Combs, “has been hanging around all season, and tonight he stepped up big time by finding a deflection and drilling it in the top left corner of the net.”  Brown’s goal came in the final four minutes of the first half. 

“Both teams deserve the win tonight.  Bryan played tremendous.  Their coach does a fantastic job with those guys.  They had a great plan and they stuck to it, executing really well.  Fortunately for us, we were able to gut this one out,” added Combs.

Again, the Cavaliers hold their destiny in their own hands.  They will continue to sharpen their team work and play up to their national ranking by playing the University of the Cumberlands this Saturday on the road.  The game is scheduled to begin at 6:00pm.  They then host USC-Aiken on Monday, October 15th, again on the road at 7:00pm.
