WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – Sophomores Nick Wanyo and Eric Nkurunziza scored one goal apiece and Lebanon Valley defeated King’s College 2-1 in a non-conference men’s soccer game Saturday afternoon.

Wanyo put Lebanon Valley (3-4) on the scoreboard when he took a pass from Matt Rich and potted his third goal of the season. Nkurunziza then scored what held up as the game-winning goal when he poked in a loose ball the goalie couldn’t hold onto for his third tally of the year.

King’s (2-7) cut the deficit in half on a Ricky Branco goal, making it 2-1 at halftime. But neither team was able to find the back of the net in the second half.

The Dutchmen return to action on Tuesday, when they visit Messiah College in a Commonwealth Conference tilt starting at 7 p.m.
