FARMVILLE, Va. – The High Point University men's soccer team went on the road and picked up a 2-1 win over Longwood on Saturday night in Farmville, Va. The Panthers got a goal in each half to move back over .500 for the season.

"I am really pleased to get three points away at Longwood," head coach EJ O'Keeffe said. "I thought we played well for the first 60 minutes and this time we were able to find some goals. We need to use today as a learning tool to figure out how to better manage the game so we can do better with a lead in the future. This is a good result that can serve as a building block for the rest of the season."

HPU then doubled its lead early in the second half when freshman Ryeong Choi scored to put High Point in front by a score of 2-0 in the 49th minute. Sophomore Ebe Kudolo ripped a shot on target that was saved by the Longwood keeper but the rebound fell to Choi who finished with a shot into the roof of the net for his second goal of the season.

Longwood got a goal back in the 64th minute when Willy Miezan picked up his eighth goal of the season for the Lancers. Longwood was unable to get any closer though as High Point hung on for its fifth win of the season.
