A group of Generals was too much for one King and the Muhlenberg men's soccer team in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Despite two goals from senior Greyson King, the Mules fell 5-2 at Washington and Lee to end their season with an 8-6-8 record. The 22nd-ranked Generals (16-2-4) advance to play No. 3 Kenyon in the "Sweet 16" next weekend.

Muhlenberg grabbed an early lead in the 11th minute after sophomore Kevin Adams completed a pass in the center of the field to senior Chris Richards as he was getting tripped. Richards delivered the ball to the head of King, who had gotten behind the W&L defense, and the goalie had no chance to stop his shot.

The Generals scored once late in the first half and once early in the second – the first goals allowed by the Mules this postseason – to take a 2-1 lead.

Muhlenberg rallied to tie in the 57th minute after senior Francois D'Elia drew a foul outside the box near the sideline. Senior Taylan Akdag took the free kick and delivered a low ball that bounced through the box to King, who headed it in.

It was the second career multiple-goal game for King (pictured above), who scored four of his five career goals in two games. The assist was the 20th for Akdag, moving him into a tie for tenth place on the Mules' all-time list.

The game remained tied until W&L scored what would prove to be the winning goal with 20:01 left.

From there, the Generals took over the game, as the effects of five games on the road in the last two weeks began to take their toll on the Mules. The shot totals were even for most of the game, but W&L took the final 12 shots, putting two of them in, to finish with a 27-12 advantage.

Freshman Ben Mulford made 9 saves, including several at close range in the face of constant pressure in the final minutes, to set a school record for a regulation NCAA Tournament game. The school record of 11 saves in an NCAA Tournament game was set in an overtime contest in 1995.
