Faulkner draws Pensacola Christian, wins Border Cup

Box Score

Faulkner (4-5-2) and Pensacola Christian (2-9-1) played for 110 minutes as neither side could find a breakthrough in the return leg of the Border Cup at Eagle Field at Pensacola Christian College Tuesday afternoon. The Montgomery-native Eagles claim the friendly competition trophy via a 6-1 victory at Billy D. Hilyer Stadium on Sept. 15. 

The visiting Eagles fired 31 shots in the contest while holding the hosts to just five. Pedro Moura and Guilherme Mondaini each outshot Pensacola Christian on the day with 10 and eight efforts respectively. Of those 31, 21 were on target but none were able to find the net. Home keeper Brent Konieczynski was terrific today with 14 saves while his defenders contributed seven. 

Caio Calado's workload was light today with two saves in a double-overtime clean sheet, his second shutout of the season and third for Faulkner overall. The defense had one of it's cleanest games of the season committing just five fouls in 110 minutes while limiting their opponent to merely two shots on target. They also did not conceed a corner kick in the match. 

Faulkner will return to Southern States Athletic Conference play Saturday in Temple Terrace, Fla. when they take on Florida College at noon. Both sides will look for their first win in league competition this year.
