LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Seven West Alabama men's soccer players scored goals in the Tigers 7-1 come-from-behind victory over Cumberland Sunday at Tiger Stadium.     

With one regular season match remaining, West Alabama improves to 9-6 overall. Cumberland snaps a three game win streak to fall to 9-6-1.

"It was unlucky to concede that first goal, but Cumberland came out on their front foot," said UWA Head Men's Soccer Coach Matthew Thorne. "We started a little slow but stepped it up after that. We had a lot of players come off the bench and step up. Throughout the whole game, even when we brought players in, the intensity level never dropped.

Marty Owens put Cumberland ahead early in the fourth minute with a high arcing goal over UWA keeper Lavares Stone.

Jason Boxx was one of three Tigers to come off of the bench to score. Boxx's first goal of the season equalized the match at 1-1 going into halftime. Liam Ireland and Jacob Ramsey also scored their first points of the season after entering the match later in the second half. Erik Rivera picked up his first assist on Ramsey's goal in the 80^th minute.  

Three minutes into the second half Evan Beutler tallied the game-winner on an assist from Boxx. It was Beutler's fourth of the year, while Boxx finished with two saves in the match.

Freshmen Patrick Carroll and Matthew Pemberton each recorded their second goals this season. Carroll's came on an assist by Beutler and Pemberton's came in the final 10 seconds, assisted by Dillon Lander.

Thibault Charmey scored his 11^th goal of the season in the 85^th minute off of a pass from Pablo Fierros. Charmey's finished with a goal and an assist on Boxx's first score.

Stone finished with one save to improve to 7-3. Bulldogs keeper Ian Hamilton made nine saves but falls to 9-6-1. The Tigers out-shot the Bulldogs 23-6, with 16 on-goal. Beutler, Charmey and Boxx led with three shots on-goal each. Cumberland totaled two shots on-goal.

West Alabama men's soccer will conclude the 2014 regular season against nationally ranked No. 22 Alabama Huntsville in Gulf South Conference action Friday.  The match will be the Tigers "Senior Night" as they honor six of their veterans.

UWA is currently third the GSC standings at 5-3, while UAH is first at 6-2. A win over the Chargers will give the Tigers a pass through the first round of the GSC tournament and into the semi-final round at Brosnaham Park in Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 7. A loss would cause the Tigers to host the first round against either the fifth or sixth seed.  

"Of course every game we play we want to win, but now it's about building momentum going into our final match against UAH," Thorne said.

"We're hoping that if we can get the win over the Chargers we'll grab the second seed and be able to punch our ticket straight into Pensacola. It will be our senior night, so we know our lads will be up for it. We would like to encourage the fans to come out and help as well in our final regular season match."
