CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Queens University of Charlotte men's soccer team defeated Anderson University (8-8-1) this evening in the quarterfinal round of the South Atlantic Conference Championships to advance to the semifinal round. Queens now sits at 10-7 on the season.

After seeing the Trojans score an early goal in tonight's game, Queens rallied from behind to score a pair and take the win.

The midfielder then slid a pass to Ejezie, who zipped the ball into the net for the 2-1 lead.
