Men’s Soccer Handed Tough 1-0 Season-Opening Loss by UDC



Goldey-Beacom played solidly with regional power District of Columbia, but was breached on a goal in the 85th minute for a 1-0 loss in Newark, DE.
 
The first half was more of a defensive battle with the Lightning getting a 3-2 shots edge.  But it was the Firebirds who were the offensive stalwart after intermission, recording a 6-3 advantage in addition to getting six corner kicks.
 
Extra time loomed, but UDC (1-0) dented the scoreboard late.  Pierre LaNoire had a free kick just outside the box that was blocked by the Lightning's wall, but the ball found its way near the six and Malik Thom pounced on it for the lead.
 
Senior Nicolas Jaramillo (Cali, Colombia) and junior Alejandro Varela (Cali, Colombia) each recorded two shots for Goldey-Beacom (0-1).  Freshman Troy Fitzgerald (Bear, DE) was awarded the start in his first collegiate game and ended with no saves.
 
Thom recorded four shots with Javier Abadia playing the final 45 minutes, recording one save for the win.
 
Goldey-Beacom on Saturday heads back to Newark to battle Millersville in a 2:00 pm match.
