#UDMSOC Suffers Heartbreaking 3-2 Defeat On Senior Night

The Flyers Fell 3-2 On A Night They Recognized 11 Players

DAYTON  – The University of Dayton men's soccer team lost on Saturday 3-2 after a late penalty in the 83rd gave the victory to Massachusetts.

The Flyers (7-7-2, 4-2-0 A-10) matched the Minutemen (11-2-3, 5-0-1 A-10) throughout, but a late red card and penalty conversion spoiled Senior Night for Dayton.

KEY STATS
  • 11 Flyers were honored prior to the game for Senior Night recognition.
  • Dayton totaled 15 shots in the game while UMass had 17.
  • The Flyers also matched the Minutemen in corner kicks, 3-4.
  • Sophomore Rok Taneski scored his sixth and seventh goals of the season, and his first PK. He led UD with four shots
  • Senior Justin Saliba recorded six saves in the contest.

COACH CURRIER'S QUOTE
"I thought the guys fought really hard tonight. UMass is atop of the table for a reason. They are good team and have won a lot of games this year. It was a night we honored the seniors who have had a tremendous career here at Dayton and elevated the program. This game doesn't define them by any means. They've accomplished a lot. Ultimately, the game came down to a call that didn't go our way. Now it is just get back on the road, put this behind us as quickly as possible and focus on Duquesne and try to find another three points."

UP NEXT
  • The Flyers will return to action next Saturday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. at Duquesne in Pittsburgh, Pa.
