Almost perennial Georgia State Golf Association player of the year David Noll Jr. of Dalton will be paired with Roswell’s Billy Mitchell in four-ball match play this morning and alternate-shot foursomes this afternoon in the Southeastern Challenge Match at Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee in Eatonton, Ga. The biennial event involves mid-amateur and senior golfers representing Georgia, Florida and Alabama. Noll’s afternoon grouping will include former Bradley Central, Cleveland State and Lee University athlete Stan Sherlin of Montgomery, Ala., a 52-year-old member of the Alabama Golf Association board of directors and multiple state champion who tied for third last month in the Alabama Mid-Amateur tournament. Seventh-place Mid-Am finisher Robson Copenhaver of Scottsboro also is on the 12-man Alabama team. The competition will conclude Sunday with three-ball matches.

• Lee University overwhelmed a good Christian Brothers team 7-1 in Gulf South Conference women’s soccer Friday evening in Cleveland, Tenn., but the men’s game in Memphis wound up 1-1 despite a 22-5 shots advantage (10-1 on goal) for CBU. Summer Lanter began the scoring for the Lady Flames (8-3, 5-1) by following up her own blocked shot just 4:29 into the game, but CBU (9-2-2, 3-2-1) equalized on a Chelsea Cassacia header at 7:49. By 26:11, though, Ode Fulutudilu had scored on a breakaway and Leah Fortune on a direct kick for Lee, and Chloe Rader, Laura Thacker, Danielle Ciabattone and Fortune added second-half goals — Thacker and Fortune from Debbie Rogers assists. Josh Ball scored for the Lee men (5-3-4) in the 24th minute from a cross by Jonathan Finlay, but CBU (6-6-1) netted the equalizer with just under five minutes left in regulation. Tom Halsall had nine saves for Lee

Taylor Mangrum made nine saves in the win.
