ROCKY MOUNT, NC - The Shaw University men's soccer team suffered a tough loss to NC Wesleyan College on September 26 falling 5-2 in a hard-fought match. Despite a strong effort on both ends, the Bears were unable to overcome the high-scoring offense of the Bishops.
NC Wesleyan started the game aggressively, putting pressure on the Shaw defense early. The Bishops managed to score four quick goals in the first 29 minutes of action, establishing a lead that would prove difficult to recover from.
