HARROGATE, TN-- The Carson-Newman men's soccer team battled to a 1-1 tie while the Carson Newman Lady Eagles remained undefeated with a 5-2 victory over Lincoln Memorial University.

In the men's game, the Eagles (3-0-1, 0-0-1 SAC) and Railsplitters battled to a 1-1 deadlock in a physical game where both teams combined for nine yellow cards and two C-N players, Dimas and David Carrasco, were tagged with red cards.

LMU led 1-0 until Omar Cooke scored an unassisted goal in the 89th minute to even the match at 1-1. In the two overtime periods, the Eagles outshot LMU 5-3, but couldn't get the winning goal in earning their first tie of the 2006 season.
