ROCK HILL, S.C. ? VMI men's soccer dropped a 4-0 matchup to the Winthrop Eagles Sunday afternoon in a Big South matchup in Rock Hill, S.C.

The Keydets (0-10, 0-3 Big South) were aggressive early on, as they outshot Winthrop (8-3, 3-0 Big South) 11-8 in the opening period. Four of the VMI shot attempts came in the first 15 minutes, as the visitors came out strong. However, Eagles' keeper Patrick Mitrovich made seven saves in the opening half, and Winthrop took advantage late, as Big South scoring leader Daniel Revivo tallied his ninth goal of the season to put the home team up 1-0. The goal came in the 44^th minute, and was notched off a one-on-one opportunity deep in the VMI zone.

That goal accounted for the halftime score, 1-0, but the Eagles came out quickly in the second half. With just 3:45 gone in the second period, Revivo scored his second goal of the game to push the home team's lead to 2-0. The goal came off an angled shot from 12 yards out.

Winthrop would add a third goal less than eight minutes later, as the Eagles scored off a series of passes to increase their advantage to 3-0. The home team would conclude the scoring in the 80^th minute, as they tallied a goal off a rebound in front of the net to account for the final 4-0 margin.

On the day, VMI keeper Brian Sowell notched eight saves before being pulled late in the second half. Adrian Dominguez made six saves in his 22 minutes of action, while Mitrovich made 11 saves for Winthrop. The Eagles committed nine offside violations, but outshot VMI 21-6 in the second half to help ensure their win.

With the loss, VMI drops to 0-10 on the season, and 0-3 in Big South play. Winthrop moves to 8-3 and 3-0 in conference action. The Keydets return to action Saturday, as they take on Appalachian State at Patchin Field. Game time is set for 3 p.m., and before the game, VMI men's soccer will celebrate its alumni day by recognizing previous members of the program.
