The Milligan College men's varsity soccer team won their first ever regular season title and earned home field advantage in the Tennessee Virginia Athletic Conference tournament by defeating Tennessee Wesleyan 7-1 on Tuesday afternoon. This is the Buffaloes' second consecutive berth in the TVAC tournament under Garvilla. In 1997, Milligan lost to Covenant College in the TVAC tournament championship game, 3-1. Covenant will be the first opponent for the Buffs in this year's tournament, which begins next week.
Covenant is a tough team.
After that goal, Milligan dominated the rest of the half, adding three more goals. Senior Donald Onyango secured the Buff victory with three goals in the second half. He leads Milligan in goals scored with 18, including five assists. He's a dominating force in the conference. This moment has been building up the entire season, and the team hopes that everyone will come out and support the team, said Onyango.
