11/15/2025 5:51:00 PM | Men's Soccer
CLEVELAND – Purdue Fort Wayne finished as the 2025 Horizon League men's soccer runner-up after a 1-0 loss in double overtime to top seed Cleveland State on Saturday (Nov. 15) afternoon.
Matteo Correia converted on a header off a cross from Paolo Roditti in the 104th minute to give Cleveland State the golden goal they needed win the 2025 league title.
While the second-seeded 'Dons finished short of their first league title since 1999, the runner-up result is the best finish in the program's Division I era.
The first chance for Cleveland State in the game came in the 19th minute. Cleveland State hit the post, had a shot blocked and Sep Habibi made a diving save in the span of about 15 seconds. Habibi finished the game with five saves.
The Mastodons' Iann Topete had a shot on goal in the first two minutes of action, but their best look in the first half came in the 42nd minute. Shane Anderson delivered a free kick to the far post. Karsten Ternes tried to direct it inside the post, but his attempt went just a bit wide.
Marco Valencia had a shot on goal in the 63rd minute for the 'Dons.
The 'Dons had four corner kicks in the contest, three coming in the second half.
Andrew Hollenbach, Anderson and Ternes were named to the 2025 All-Tournament Team.
Cleveland State improves to 9-3-6. Purdue Fort Wayne finishes the 2025 season 8-3-6.
