DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Freshman Ricardo Pierre-Louis (Leogane, Haiti) recorded his 39th goal of the season to lead No. 14-seed (Tenn.) to a 1-0 victory against No. 19-seed Virginia Intermont in the 47th Annual NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship held on the campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Wednesday afternoon.

Lee's Christopher Walker (Manchester, England) drew goalkeeper Daniel Schenkel (Campo Verde, Brazil) out of goal and slid a pass to Pierre-Louis who hit a sliding kick past a diving Virginia Intermont defender in the 13th minute.

Virginia Intermont mounted a offensive charge for the equalizer holding a commanding 17-9 shot advantage, but couldn't capitalize as Lee's Tuda Murphy (Caymand Islands) stopped all six shots on goal.

The game was a very physical contest with a combined 33 fouls and four yellow cards.

The victory propels Lee to the second round against No. 3 Southern Nazarene (Okla.) at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 17.
