LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A late goal allowed Bellarmine to break a string of scoreless minutes recorded by Missouri S&T's men's soccer team and also come away with a win Sunday afternoon, as the Knights topped the Miners 1-0 in a Great Lakes Valley Conference contest.

The Knights got the only goal of the game in the 82^nd minute when Zach Digan headed in a corner kick from Dan Schiavi.  That tally ended a run of 281 minutes without a goal being allowed by S&T's defense.

S&T was held without a shot on goal in the first half of play – the Knights had a 7-2 advantage in shots overall – but created some opportunities in the opening moments of the second half.  The Miners got a pair of shots shortly after the second half started, then had three corner kicks in the span of a minute but were unable to get a shot from any of those attempts.

Neil Wiaranowski (Naperville, Ill./Naperville North) had the Miners' first shot on net in the 68^th minute that was stopped by Knight goalkeeper Blake Hunter.

S&T goalkeeper James Holloway (Cape Girardeau, Mo./Notre Dame Regional), who had four saves in the contest, stopped a head ball attempt by Kai Qualah with 20 minutes to play to keep the game scoreless and made another stop on a shot on goal a little over eight minutes later.

After the Knights took the lead, the Miners had two chances to tie the contest.  The first came in the 87^th minute when Wiaranowski got his head on Ryan Lawhead (O'Fallon, Ill./O'Fallon Township)'s corner kick, but the ball went over the top of the goal.  Then after a Bellarmine foul in the final minute that gave S&T a free kick, Maxi Fuchs (Munich, Germany)' attempt was stopped by Hunter.

Bellarmine had a 14-9 advantage in shots for the game after each team recorded seven in the second half.

The Miners will play three of their next four games at home, beginning with Friday's 7:30 p.m. match with Illinois Springfield at the S&T Soccer Field.
