Anderson’s Late Goal Wins it for Billikens

Tanner Anderson scored in the 80th minute, and the Saint Louis University men’s soccer team held on for a 1-0 victory over Saint Joseph’s Saturday night at Robert R. Hermann Stadium.

The Billikens improved to 4-3-3 overall and 2-0-1 in Atlantic 10 play and are unbeaten in their last four contests. Saint Joseph’s fell to 3-3-4 overall and 0-2-1 in conference play.

Anderson’s goal came at the 79:20 mark, his team-leading third of the season. Nick Schramm provided the assist, finding Anderson for the game-winning header.

The Billikens controlled much of the match offensively, outshooting the Hawks 14-1, including a 9-0 advantage in the second half. Saint Louis also held a 5-1 edge in corner kicks.

Lucas McPartlin recorded his second consecutive A10 shutout and his third clean sheet of the season. Saint Joseph’s managed just one shot in the contest, which was blocked in the first half.

Next up, the Billikens embark on an Atlantic 10 road trip, taking on Fordham on Wednesday, Oct. 7, and La Salle on Saturday, Oct. 10.
