Late goal lifts Mercer past ETSU

Will Bagrou scored in the 77th minute to give Mercer a 1-0 win Saturday over East Tennessee State in Southern Conference men’s soccer.

Bagrou scored after the Bucs’ goalie corralled a cross, and Conner Antley challenged the keeper, causing him to drop the ball.

Antley got the ball to Bagrou, who then made sure it found its way to the back of the net. Mercer held onto its lead for the final 13 minutes.

Mercer improved to 7-5 overall and 2-2 in conference play while ETSU fell to 44-2 and 1-2-1.
