FLORENCE, SC – Francis Marion University ended its 2017 season with a 2-1 overtime defeat at the hands of Flagler University as the Saints’ Oscar Davidsson scored the golden goal 2:23 into the extra session, Wednesday evening (Oct. 25) in Peach Belt Conference men’s soccer action.

Francis Marion ends its campaign with a 6-9-0 overall record, while the Saints improve to 4-8-1.

The lone score for the Patriots was by junior Levin Sandmann as he gathered the ball at the top of the 18-yard box off of a Damien Tergella cross and found the back of the net putting FMU up 1-0 at the 24:52 mark.
