Barbourville, Ky.----Wingate University senior midfielder Shaun Gadsby (Newcastle, England) scored a pair of second half goals Sunday afternoon, leading the 16th-ranked Bulldogs to a 2-1 victory at Lincoln Memorial University in South Atlantic Conference men's soccer action. The match was a battle of the only SAC teams without a loss this year. Wingate improves to 8-0-2 overall and 5-0 in the SAC. LMU falls to 6-1-1 overall and 3-1-1 in the conference.
