ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Purdue Fort Wayne men's soccer team dropped a Horizon League contest at Oakland on Saturday (Oct. 12) 1-0.
Oakland scored the only goal of the game with just two seconds left in the first half. The Golden Grizzlies earned a corner kick with less than 20 seconds remaining. After the ball was sent into the box, Luke Benford passed the ball to Francesco Mazzei who delivered the ball into the top left portion of the goal. The shot squeezed between several Mastodon defenders standing between Mazzei and the goal.
Purdue Fort Wayne finished the game with advantages in shots (12-10), shots on goal (5-3) and corner kicks (7-3).
One of the Mastodons' best chance in the first half came in the 19th minute when Abe Arellano advanced within 10 yards of the goal. He made Oakland goalkeeper Alex Flowers come out of the six-yard box to stop Arellano's shot. A pair of corner kicks in the 75th minute helped bring some solid Mastodon pressure late in the second half but ultimately not the equalizer.
The 'Dons fall to 6-4-1 (3-2 Horizon League). Oakland is now 4-6-2 (2-1-2 Horizon League). The 'Dons are back in action on Saturday at home against Detroit Mercy.
