So close! Messiah (PA) beats my alma mater Lynchburg (VA) for the NCAA Men's DIII soccer title

Here's the story.

Lynchburg College came into the tournament unranked, and knocked off No. 1 Trinity (TX), No. 2 Ohio Wesleyan en route to their title match with DIII soccer powerhouse Messiah College.

Congratulations to Coach Yeager and his Hornets. Their play upholds Lynchburg's proud 50 plus years of soccer tradition, one year of which I was privileged to cover them as sports editor of the Lynchburg College Critograph.
