For the first time this season the men’s soccer team suffered back-to-back losses. UMBC did get out to a quick 2-0 lead after Andrew Bulls and Levi Houapeu connected on goals, but Longwood tied the game less than 10 minutes laster with two goals of their own.
In the second half UMBC had five very good opportunities to but the game out of hand for the Lancers but they could not seem to finish and missed three shots, were called offsides for another, and one was saved.
With the game tied 2-2 at the end of regulation the game went into a sudden victory overtime period. Longwood scored a goal in the fourth minute of overtime to take the victory and spoil UMBC’s home coming.
Further coverage of this game will be featured in the October 20 issue of The Retriever Weekly.
