Men's Soccer Defeats Notre Dame 2-1 on a Snowy Thursday Afternoon

CHARLESTON, W. Va. – The University of Charleston Men's Soccer team finished off their road schedule with a 2-1 victory over the Falcons from Notre Dame on Thursday afternoon. After a weather delay that lasted over an hour, the Golden Eagles were able to grow comfortable under the snowy conditions at Mueller Field and score two goals in the final 14 minutes of play to capture victory.
 
JUST THE BASICS:
Score: Charleston 2, Notre Dame 1
Location: South Euclid, Ohio
Records: Charleston (6-0, 6-0 MEC), Notre Dame (3-2, 3-2 MEC)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
The first half of the match played back and forth, but neither team was able to get the offense going through the first 42 minutes of play. With less than two minutes remaining until halftime, the Falcons found themselves leading 1-0 after Filip Sparevec found the back of the net which sent the home team into the locker room holding the lead.
 
In the opening half, the Falcons held the advantage in shots, ousting the Golden Eagles 8-3. Despite seven corner kick opportunities, the Falcon defense combined with weather allowed for Notre Dame keeper Arvid Engstrom to keep a clean sheet in the half.
 
In the second half, the offense continued to be held at a minimum until the 76th minute. On a ball that looked to be headed out the back line, Gabriel Rodriguez found a way to feed the ball towards the net to teammate Alexis Ledoux who found the back of the net to tie the match at 1-1.
 
Holding the momentum, Charleston went on to score with just seven minutes remaining in the match after Alejandro Larrayoz found Adam Burchell right in front of the net to take a 2-1 lead. The Golden Eagles continued to play lockdown defense over the final few minutes of the match, eventually taking home a 2-1 win.
 
In the second half, the Golden Eagles were able to turn the tides and outshoot the Falcons 8-2. Charleston goalkeepers Marc Torrado finished the game with two saves while Engstrom collected three.

 
UP NEXT:
 
Charleston will return home for the final two games of the regular season, taking on the Mountain Lions from Concord on April 9th at 5:00 PM before concluding the season on April 18th against West Virginia Wesleyan. Both games will be played at the Welch Athletic Complex.
