Box Score CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Campbellsville men's soccer saw its hopes of knocking off the No. 4 team in the nation go down the drain after two late goals by Lindsey Wilson College. The Blue Raiders scored twice in the final four minutes to seal the come-from-behind victory to advance to the Mid-South Conference Championship game Saturday.
Lindsey Wilson's Tom Moody and Yazeed Davis turned the tides for Campbellsville, scoring twice within two minutes of each other. Moody capitalized on a penalty kick to tie the match at two, after there was a handball by a CU defender inside the box. Davis gave the Blue Raiders the lead after a scramble inside the box, beating CU goalkeeper
Josh Hollis.
But before the fireworks for the Blue Raiders, Campbellsville came out hitting on all cylinders in the first half with two early scores. In the 11
