MEN'S SOCCER NIPPED BY MOUNT ST. MARY'S,
2-1
SMITHFIELD, R.I. - In heavy rain and wind, the Bryant University
men's soccer team battled Mount St. Mary's for a full 90 minutes
but came up just short losing 2-1.
The Bulldogs (3-11-0, 1-5-0) got on the board first in the 52nd
minute. Junior Sean Kaukas (Glastonbury, Conn.)
sent a corner kick into the box that senior captain Taylor
Sabo (Scarborough, Maine) was able to get a foot on and
hit into the back of the net. It was Sabo's second goal of the
season.
The lead didn't last long for the Bulldogs as the Mount (3-9-0,
2-3-0) was able to score just two minutes later off a Chris Wheeler
header. Senior Eric Mullins sent a ball in from the right side of
the field into the 6-yard box to an awaiting Wheeler who shot the
ball into the ride side-netting to tie the score.
The Mount struck again in the 67th minute. Eric Detzel sent a
corner kick into the box that was kicked around and deflected right
to Sophomore Ian Hendrie. Off the rebound, Hendrie shot the ball
into an open net for the game-winner.
The Bulldogs hung tough and had multiple corner kick
opportunities toward the end of the game but could not generate a
score. Bryant junior keeper Victor Tutino (Deer Park,
N.Y.) made five saves in the contest.
The Bulldogs return to action on Friday, Oct. 23 for senior day
against Sacred Heart. The game is scheduled to be played at 3 p.m.
at Sutton Field.
