HENDERSON, Tenn. - The Freed-Hardeman Lions got goals from a trio of newcomers as they closed out the 2012 Lions Cup Invitational with a 3-0 win over Johnson (Tenn.) University on Monday afternoon at the Josh Riley Soccer Complex.

The Lions (3-2) won two of three matches at their annual Labor Day tournament, defeating Columbia International (S.C.), 4-0, on Friday, and falling to Talladega (Ala.) College on Saturday, 3-1.

For the second straight match, FHU got on the board quickly on a Brandon Rodriguez goal in the third minute. He scored off a rebound of his own shot, back-heeling the ball past JU keeper Taylor Downs for his third of the season.

Despite having some good opportunities, it would be the only goal for the Lions in the first half. The score remained 1-0 until the 62nd minute when Lucas Alonso dribbled to his right from the left side of the box and fired a hard strike into the upper left corner.

Two minutes later, Sebastian Henke scored a nearly identical goal, dribbling in from outside the box and finishing with a right-footed strike.

Johnson University had a good opportunity to score late in the game, but Lion keeper Zach Johnson stopped a shot at near point-blank range to keep his clean sheet in tact.

FHU out-shot JU, 34-9, and held a 20-6 edge in shots on goal.

The Lions travel to Bob Jones (S.C.) University on Sept. 6 for a 7:00 PM match.
