Logan Huff?s Heroics Lift PC to 2-1 Overtime Win Over Furman

CLINTON, S.C. - Logan Huff doubled his career goals tally on Friday night to lift Presbyterian College to a 2-1 win over Furman for the first time since 1983.  The senior captain scored a penalty kick in the 30th minute before heading home the game-winner after just 2:31 of overtime play.  The win improves the Blue Hose to 1-0-0 on the season while Furman drops to 1-1-0.

The Blue Hose were awarded a penalty at the 29:28 mark when Nico Fazio was yanked down inside the box.  Huff took the ball and coolly struck the ball past the keeper who guessed wrong on the play to make the score 1-0.

Furman seemed to take the run of play for large portions of the match, giving the visiting Paladins an overall 18-12 advantage in shots.  Furman also took eight corners to PC's 12. 

After PC took a 1-0 lead into the halftime break, Furman came out and scored after six minutes.  Michael Gandier scored from the top of the penalty area off a feed from Josh Leitch to level the teams at 1-1.

There was little between the teams over the final minutes of the second half as they went from end-to-end searching for the winning goal.  Ultimately, overtime was needed.

Just ten seconds into overtime, Davis Orders ripped a shot from 40-yards which would have beat the keeper who was off his line but sailed just over the crossbar.  At the other end of the field. Furman's Fabien Vorbe took a shot from the edge of the penalty area which missed the near post by inches.

A corner kick was earned for PC as the Blue Hose pushed forward for the attack.  Lewis Makin delivered the corner to the center of the box where Huff rose to head the ball into the net.  His goal doubles his career goals tally and gave the Blue Hose the 2-1 win.

William Redmond, who played just 62 minutes last season, went the distance in goal for the Blue Hose and allowed just the one goal. 

PC returns to action on Thursday night on the road against I-26 rival USC Upstate.  The match starts at 7 p.m.
