YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Niall McCabe's goal with 10:21 left in the match was the difference as Young Harris College men's soccer team defeated the University of Montevallo for a 3-2 Peach Belt Conference victory Saturday (Nov. 2) afternoon at the Frances Wood Wilson Soccer and Lacrosse Field.

The No. 2-ranked Mountain Lions won their 13th consecutive match as they improved to 15-1-0 overall and to 9-0-0 in the league. Young Harris is the 12th Peach Belt team to go through the conference slate without a blemish and the first since the University of North Carolina at Pembroke did the trick in 2004. The Mountain Lions are the first PBC team without a blemish in a nine-match league schedule. Montevallo fell to 8-8-0 and 4-5-0. Both teams will advanced to the 2013 PBC Tournament that begins Tuesday (Nov. 2) with quarterfinal matches.

Young Harris jumped out to a 2-0 lead as Ilija Ilic and Khurram Shazad got in the scoring column midway through the first half. McCabe, who leads the Peach Belt with 16 assists, sent a through ball to Ilic, who beat the keeper and knocked the ball into the left corner of the goal at the 22:49 mark for his 17th goal – second most in the PBC. Lewis Hilton played the ball to Shazad 13 minutes later to double the lead for the Mountain Lions. It was Shazad's seventh strike of 2013.

Montevallo got a goal back with just over three minutes left before the half as Remy Moulard scored off a Jeffrey Hessenberger cross. The Falcons tied it at 2 when Steven Didik scored at the 74:32 mark off a Rickey Davey corner kick.

McCabe scored his third match-winner of the season at the 79:39 mark. Declan Traquair played the ball to Ilic, who flicked it to McCabe. The senior from Dublin, Ireland deposited his 10th goal of the season from 10 yards out.

Pedro Ozi added five saves for the Mountain Lions while Brendan Ledgeway had six for the Falcons.
