Delta State Scores Twice in Each Half to Defeat HU Men's Soccer

CLEVELAND, Miss. – Delta State scored two goals in each half and defeated Harding men's soccer 4-2 on Tuesday in non-conference action at Delta Field. It was the first of two straight non-conference road games for the Bisons before Harding returns to Great American Conference action next Tuesday.
