Memphis, TN – October 9, 2006 - Crichton College's Men's Soccer team stayed in Memphis Monday for a cross town road game against Rhodes College. Rhodes set the tone early and jumped out to a one goal lead at the beginning of the first half. From that point on the Comets were forced to play catch up. Rhodes added a second goal late in the half and Crichton went into the intermission down 2. The second half was much the same as Rhodes added another goal early leaving Crichton in search of some offense. Offense would come in the last 15 minutes as Joseph Doherty scored two quick goals to bring Crichton to within one. Rhodes answered back with a late goal of their own to put what would have been an incredible comeback out of reach for the Comets. Crichton drops their record to 1-9-1 on the season and are still in search of their first ever road win. Joseph Doherty improves his goal total to 8 on the season with team high 17 total points.

Final Score: Crichton 2 - Rhodes 4

Player of the Game: Joseph Doherty

Next up the Comets travel Freed Hardeman University for a chance at a must needed conference win. The game is scheduled for Saturday October 14th at 7:30 p.m.
