Bryan 4, Bluefield 0

The Lions defeated Bluefield Saturday night 4-0 for the Quarterfinals of the AAC Tournament.  Ricky Angel started the scoring in the 15th minute.  Ryon Simon flicked the ball on to Ricky with his head, who chested the ball and then volleyed it into the back of the net.  Carlos "Jota" Pedro da Silva added a second goal just a minute and a half later.  Ricky played a beautiful through-ball past the defense that Jota ran onto and placed just past the keeper.  Jota concluded the first half, scoring in the 43rd minute on a penalty kick that was awarded for a foul on Raphael Correa.  The only goal in the second half came from Reggie Parks in the 80th minute.  He was fouled in the box and awarded a penalty kick.  The Lions outshot their opponents 16-7.

The Lions will take on the Covenant Scots in the AAC Semifinals on Friday night.  Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM EST.
