MOUNTAIN LION NOTES
CU stayed in the middle of the postseason picture with a 2-1 win at West Liberty Sunday afternoon.
Sophomore midfielder
Maxime Ramioulle tallied both goals for the Mountain Lions including a goal in the 88
th minute to lift Concord to the victory. It was the latest game-winning goal for CU since sophomore midfielder
Moulay Hassani buried an overtime goal at Wheeling Jesuit last season in the 92
nd minue.
The brace—two goals—from Ramioulle put him into a tie for third in the MEC in goals scored this season with seven.
West Liberty became the second team that Concord has swept this season as the Mountain Lions also took both contests from Shepherd in 2018.
CU will be seeking revenge as it dropped both games on the road to West Virginia Wesleyan and Wheeling Jesuit earlier this season.
The Maroon and Gray were narrowly edged by the Bobcats 3-2 on September 20 as it fell in an early 2-0 hole. Ramioulle and junior midfielder
Courtney Skerritt accounted for the Concord goals.
Ramioulle and Skerritt scored along with junior defender
Josh Sheffield in a 5-3 loss at Wheeling Jesuit less than two weeks ago. The eight goals was the highest scoring game Concord has been involved in since a 5-4 loss at Urbana last season.
Five of the last six meetings between Concord and West Virginia Wesleyan have been decided by one goal. The Mountain Lions knocked off WVWC at Anderson Field in 2016 in double overtime.
The only active players for CU to score on the Bobcats are Ramioulle and Skerritt earlier this season.
