| 09.06.05 - It was
another evenly matched contest, but again the Foresters eventually
succumbed in overtime, this time falling 1-0 to the Bluffton
University Beavers. Both teams had their chances to score in
regulation, but failed to capitalize. Things got even tougher
for the Foresters with five minutes remaining in the second half.
Bluffton's offense generated a clear breakaway, and in an effort to
stop the play, Josh Schreiner brought down the player just outside the
box. He received a red card on the play and was ejected from the
game forcing HU to play a man down the rest of the way. The
Beavers stepped up their intensity, but the Foresters survived the
surge to force the overtime. Three minutes into the extra
period, HU's defense missed an opportunity to clear the ball which set
up Bluffton's Drew Hoening for the score. "We once again showed
great promise with increased composure and possession of play," stated
Coach Lawson. "Once our offense starts clicking, I am confident
we will begin to see better results." The loss drops the men to
0-3 on the season. |
