BANNER ELK, N.C. -- Ferrum College salvaged a tie with Lees-McRae College in Conference Carolinas men's soccer action tonight on the road, with a final 1-1 score this afternoon at Tate Field.

THE BASICS
Lees-McRae struck first with an unassisted goal by Landon Robbins at the 38-minute mark.

Ferrum wasted little time in evening the count at 1-1, with Chase LaSasso sending a ball into the back of the net at 41:41. The two teams played scoreless in the second half to end in a tie, the fifth draw this season for the Bobcats.
