FURMAN: Anthony Esquivel’s game-winning goal at the 85:25 mark gave Furman a 1-0 victory of College of Charleston (6-5-1, 2-2) on Saturday in a men’s soccer match. It was the first match for Furman (10-2-1, 5-0 Southern Conference) since the death of freshman Gray Griffin on Oct. 11.

“This was a tough game for us,” said head coach Doug Allison. “We wanted to come out here and play hard in honor of Gray. I am very pleased to get a good conference win.”
