ASHLAND, Va. – The Randolph-Macon Men's Soccer team had a tough task Sunday for their second match in as many days. R-MC and Eastern Connecticut State walk away with a tie after scoring a goal apiece.

How it Happened
- The Warriors opened the scoring just over a minute into the game as Jared Caroline settled a cross on a corner kick and buried it into the back of the net.
