Scots Thrash Tigers in Nonconference Battle

 

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. - Covenant welcomed its first of two ODAC members this weekend to Scotland Yard on Friday night. It didn't go well for Hampden-Sydney as three early Covenant goals was too much to climb back from. 

Final: Covenant 4, Hampden-Sydney 1
Records: Covenant (3-0), Hampden-Sydney (2-1)

HOW IT HAPPENED: 

  • After earning a penalty kick himself, Kade Theunissen gave the Scots the lead in the ninth minute with a goal from the 12-yard spot. 
  • Less than three minutes later, Covenant doubled the lead on a Tyler Swinehart header off a free-kick from Theunissen. 
  • In the 16th minute, Covenant made it 3-0 as Whitt Tisdale buried the ball in the back of the net on the back end of a Fox Landgren cross.
  • The Tigers put four shots on goal in the first half, but Eli Honeycutt was true to all of them including a breakaway chance on the left side of his goal. 
  • In the 49th minute, Covenant converted a perfect counter-attack as Tisdale played in Theunissen who kicked the ball into a mostly open net to make it 4-1. 
  • The Tigers got a consolation reward in the 62nd minute as Tyler Petz got behind the defense on a cross that led to a tap-in goal at the near post. 
  • Hampden-Sydney kept up the pressure, but the Covenant defense held strong for the duration of the second half. 
  • Covenant had its final chance to score in the 79th minute as Ty Morgan put a shot on goal, but it was saved at the top right.

GAME NOTES: 

  • Covenant moves to 1-0 all-time against Hampden-Sydney.
  • Hampden-Sydney had an edge in shots at 21-11, but the Scots had the edge in shots on goal at 9-8. 
  • The Tigers had seven corner kicks while the Scots had one. 
  • Honeycutt brought in six saves, which ties his career high. 
  • In what was a physical game, Covenant had the higher foul count at 20-16.
  • The Tigers had six yellow cards while the Scots had two.
