Men’s Team Comes Up Short Against Fisher
Boston, MA –
The Bryant & Stratton College- Syracuse Men's Soccer team kicked off their regular season with a trip to Massachusetts to face off against Massasoit Community College & Fisher College over the weekend. Saturday’s game was ruled a no contest due to lightening, but Sunday’s game against Fisher went on as planned.
What Happened:
The first half was a battle between the two teams. Rain was consistent over the weekend in Massachusetts, and conditions were not ideal. However, the team did their best to create opportunities on the attack. On the stat sheet, the Bobcats outshot the Falcons 15-3 and BSC Syracuse had some great chances in the early on, but the score was deadlocked at the break.
Under 35 minutes to play, Fisher broke the tie with a goal to go up 1-0. The Falcons would face a flurry of chances, but the ball never found the net. The game was hard fought on both sides, and the Bobcats never waivered. With 19 or so minutes to go, the Bobcats found themself with a chance to score the equalizer, but a no whistle led to a clear on the Falcons defensive side. What could have been a free kick at the very least, or even a PK since the tackle occurred in the box, were one of the many chances the Bobcats had to get on the board. Fisher would go on to win 1-0. What this team does have is grit. They will find a way to gel, and their chemistry will only grow from game-to-game.
A tough loss following their game on Saturday afternoon vs Massasoit CC which ended up being a no contest due to inclement weather. The Bobcats were leading 2-0 before that point, but Mother Nature had other plans. The team will look to bounce back in their next match up.
Next Game:
The Bobcats host their Home Opener against Roberts Wesleyan College on Saturday September 16th at 1 PM
