| 09.03.05 - Despite
owning a 15-4 advantage on shots on goal and a 15-2 lead in corner
kicks, the Foresters were unable to finish enough of those attempts
and eventually fell 3-2 in double overtime to Franklin College.
The Grizzlies got on the scoreboard first when Michael Harwood netted
a misplayed ball by the Foresters eight minutes into the game.
Twenty minutes later, HU knotted the score when Andrew Wust won a
tackle from a Franklin defender and buried his shot in the upper right
corner of the net. The score remained 1-1 at the break.
Twenty minutes into the second half, the Foresters grabbed the 2-1
lead when Joel Sanders beat a defender on the right flank and then fed
David Callahan for the score. HU continued to attack, but all it
took was one long ball to Harwood and the Grizzly forward equalized
the game at 2-2 with eight minutes left in regulation. The two
teams battled through one scoreless overtime period and went five
minutes into a second before Franklin scored the game-winner on a
penalty kick by Andy Pickett. "We generated many opportunities
today, but must develop a greater sense of urgency to capitalize on
them," lamented Coach Lawson. "Overall, we saw many positive
things to build on despite not earning the result." With the
loss the men drop to 0-2 on the season. |
