MEN’S SOCCER · SEPTEMBER 16, 2026 · RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS
Executive brief
Lincoln Memorial beat Lenoir-Rhyne 5–0 in Harrogate, scoring twice before halftime and three times afterward. Elay Chartouni supplied two goals; Daniel Benedek Miklosi kept a clean sheet with six saves. [1] [2]
Mayberry’s assessment: the result combined unusually efficient finishing with important goalkeeping. A five-goal margin should not obscure the work required to keep the other side scoreless.

Box-score player totals and official scoring summary. [1] [2]
Decisive passages
Filipe Ribeiro scored at 10:17, and Chartouni added the second at 36:09. David McDougall extended the advantage at 62:00 before Chartouni struck again at 73:30 and Otis Hearn completed the scoring at 78:56. [2]
The timing matters: LMU had a two-goal cushion at the interval but still needed to protect it before the third goal. The late additions enlarged a lead that had already been built across both halves rather than through a single brief scoring burst.
Player impact
Chartouni scored with both of his attempts, while Ribeiro, McDougall and Hearn each converted their only shot. Benedek Miklosi played the full 90 minutes. Five different players received an assist in the box score. [1]
That distribution gives the result two distinct strengths: several players finished attacks, and the goalkeeper prevented Lenoir-Rhyne from turning its own attempts into a route back. Neither contribution should disappear behind the headline margin.
Mayberry’s take
Five goals from six attempts on target is an exceptional return. It shows what happened on this night; it is not a reliable promise that similar shooting volume will produce the same score in another match. The sustainable question for LMU is whether it can keep combining useful chances with resistance at the other end.
For Lenoir-Rhyne, the six saves forced from the opposing keeper indicate that the attack did reach the target. Yet producing those attempts did not prevent the deficit from growing. The result therefore calls for attention to both converting opportunities and limiting the damage when opponents get through, without assuming a tactical explanation that the statistics cannot establish.
Conference context
LMU moved to 3–1–1 overall and 2–0 in the SAC. Lenoir-Rhyne fell to 0–4–2 and 0–1–1. The Railsplitters had two conference wins in hand; the Bears were still seeking their first overall victory. [2]
