Springfield, Mo. - The No. 20 Lewis University men's soccer team scored a pair of first half goals on their way to the 2-0 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over Drury at Harrison Stadium on Sunday (Oct. 27) afternoon to finish the regular-season without a road loss.

"We played well at times, but we could have played better in the second half," Lewis head men's soccer coach Evan Fiffles said. "Drury is a very good team, so it is a good result on the road."

With the win, Lewis improves to 11-1-4 on the season and 10-1-3 in GLVC action. The Flyers have not lost in their last 11 GLVC regular-season road contests, dating back to a 3-2 overtime loss to Southern Indiana on September 23, 2012. Drury falls to 12-5 on the campaign and 9-5 in conference play.

Lewis senior forward Cristhian Ramirez (Wheeling, Ill./Wheeling) opened up the scoring for the Flyers, as he gathered in a deflection from the 12-yard line and beat Drury goalkeeper Blake Andrews for the tally in the 24th minute.

Flyer sophomore reserve Robert Zieba (Lockport, Ill./Lockport) added an insurance goal - his third score in the last three games - converting a cross pass from junior defender Michael Pyle (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard South) at the 37:05 mark to put Lewis ahead, 2-0.

Drury held the advantage offensively, as they outshot Lewis, 18-9, while both teams had four shots on frame.

Lewis goalkeeper Alec Pickett (Mokena, Ill./Providence ) made four saves on the afternoon to claim his eighth solo shutout of the season. In 16 games this season, the senior netminder has only given up eight goals. Andrews finished the contest with two saves.

Lewis returns to action on Wednesday (Oct. 30), as the Flyers welcome UW-Parkside to Lewis Stadium for 'Senior Night'. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 PM.
