BECKLEY, W.Va. – The Concord University men's soccer team picked up a 3-0 win over West Liberty Sunday afternoon at the Cline Memorial Complex in Mountain East Conference action.

In the 42

Josh Sheffield stepped up and buried the penalty kick in the bottom right of the net to stretch out the CU lead to 2-0.
The Mountain Lions added an insurance goal early in the second half as junior midfielder
Courtney Skerritt played a ball from the right wing to the middle of the field in the open field to sophomore midfielder
Moulay Hassani who tallied his first goal of the season in the 50

Junior goalkeeper
Ching Lokus Au and the CU defense kept West Liberty over the final 40 minutes of the game as he picked up his first shutout of the season. Lokus made seven saves in the contest.
