GREENSBURG, Pa.– Nika Monaselidze’s goal in the 66th-minute was all the West Virginia Wesleyan men’s soccer team needed to defeat Seton Hill on Saturday (Oct. 2). The victory marked a historic 400 career victory for head coach Gavin Donaldson.

The second half saw more scoreless action up until the 66th minute. After a Seton Hill foul outside of the penalty area, 

Monaselidze sent a ball under the SHU wall and past the outstretched keeper to give the Bobcats the 1-0 advantage. The goal marked Monaselidze’s fourth goal of the season.
 
Freshmen Dajun Barthley and Lance Cerullo made their debut in the Black & Orange and contributed valuable minutes on the way to the 1-0 victory.
