KIRKLAND, Wash. – The University of Providence men's soccer team lost a heartbreaker Friday afternoon, falling 1-0 to Northwest in the second overtime.
Scoreless after 90 minutes, the two teams headed into extra time. Though the Argos (1-3, 1-1) got several shots off in the first overtime period, they couldn't find the back of the net. A minute into the second overtime period, a foul was called on the Argos, resulting in a penalty kick for the Eagles (5-3, 1-2), which Elliot Misic converted to clinch the victory.
"It was a heartbreaker," interim head coach
Michael Rahn said. "We fought valiantly. We played really well, but in the end we come away with nothing."
The Eagles attempted 12 shots on the day, with eight appearing on goal. The Argos took eight shots in the game, led by
George Almeida's four. Almeida,
Mika Lukas Lankhof and
Kevin Vasquez-Hernandez all put a shot on target for the team.
Evan Scholes played the entire game in the net for the Argos, recording seven saves.
The team will have to respond quickly, as they'll play the second game of their double-header tomorrow against Evergreen State. The game will kickoff at 1:30 p.m. MTN.
"They have big bodies and are really physical," Rahn said. "We're overextended, we're beat up, we're thin. It's going to be a bear. We're really going to have to dig deep tomorrow."
