UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – After a
physical game in which three yellow cards were issued in the first
half for roughing, SVSU's mens soccer team lost a tough game
to GLIAC foe Findlay University Sunday (Sept. 21) afternoon at the
SVSU Soccer Complex.
SVSU senior Brent Walker (Owosso, Mich./ Owosso HS) was issued a
yellow card for rough play as he got tangled with Oiler defensemen
Joey Gogolin at the 35 minute mark in the first half. SVSU senior
Paul Gracyk (Chesterfield, Mich./Anchor Bay HS) received the
game's third caution for rough play at the 40 minute
mark.
At the end of the first half, the score was tied 0-0 with SVSU
outshooting Findlay 11-7.
After Findlay scored at the 55 minute mark in the second half, it
didn't take the Cardinals long to respond as just more than
five minutes later, Larry Ferreira (London, Ont./Regina Mundi
College) broke free and pounded a shot passed Oiler freshman
goalkeeper Kevin Misteravich.
That score stood until the 64 minute mark when Oiler's
sophomore Brennan Williams netted the final goal of the match.
In the second half, the Cardinals were able to rip 13 shots on
goal, and generate some scoring opportunities off five corner kicks
and two shots that bounced off the goal posts.
With the loss, the Cardinals fall to 2-4 overall, and 0-2 in the
GLIAC, as they gear up for their next match against Seton Hall at 4
p.m. Friday (Sept. 26) in Greensburg, Pa.
