W&M Men’s Soccer Falls at #19 UNC Greensboro, 4-3

GREENSBORO, NC - William and Mary came back from an early two-goal deficit to tie the game with three goals in the second half, but a UNC Greensboro score with just 43 seconds remaining gave the Tribe men’s soccer team a heartbreaking, 4-3, loss to the 19th-ranked Spartans tonight at the UNCG Soccer Stadium.

The loss drops W&M’s record to 2-3-0 this season, while UNCG improves to 5-2-0.

With the match tied at three and appearing to be headed toward overtime, the Spartans’ Henning Jonason scored on a free kick from 25 yards out in the final minute of regulation for the game-winner.

UNCG held a 2-0 lead less than 20 minutes into the game, scoring first in the 10th minute when Randi Patterson headed in a goal off a pass from Jonason. The Spartan’s second goal came less than 10 minutes later, when Scott Jones took possession of the ball and took it nearly the entire length of the field for the score.

W&M got on the board in the 54th minute when junior forward Jarrett Thomas (McLean, VA) scored off a corner kick from sophomore midfielder Martin Brady (Largs, Scotland). UNCG re-gained its two-goal lead less than three minutes later on a goal by Thomas Campbell that was assisted by Patterson and Egill Atlason. However, the Tribe did not quit, tying the score with a pair of goals in the final 27 minutes. Freshman forward Andrew Hoxie (Newport News, VA) brought the Tribe within one in the 64th minute, scoring an unassisted goal after intercepting a failed clear. With less than nine minutes on the clock, junior Brendan McCurdy (Ponte Vedra Beach, FL) tied the game at three, scoring off a pass from Thomas.

UNCG out-shot W&M, 14-9, in the game, with the Tribe holding a 5-2 lead in corner kicks. W&M’s junior goalkeeper Kris Rake (Flower Mound, TX) made four saves in the game, while the Spartans’ Jay Benfield stopped five shots. The two teams combined for 47 fouls in the game, including 27 by UNCG.

W&M’s next game will be Tuesday, September 27 at 7:00 PM, when the Tribe travels to face Maryland, currently ranked as high as third in the nation.
