Men’s Soccer Falls at Vermont, 5-0, as Late Goals Turn Scoreline

BURLINGTON, Vt. – The Crimson remained within one goal of the Catamounts until the 52nd minute and within two goals until the 88th minute, but Harvard University men's soccer fell at the University of Vermont, 5-0, on Saturday night at Virtue Field.
 
Competing in the fourth match of a five-game road swing, the Crimson (0-2-3) kept within 1-0 of the Catamounts (4-1-2) at halftime and remained within striking distance at 2-0 until the hosts netted three goals inside of the final three minutes.
 
Vermont netted the game's opening goal late in the first half in the 44th minute before moving ahead 2-0 in the 52nd minute. The hosts then closed the game's scoring with two goals in the 88th minute and a final tally in the 89th minute.

Harvard Highlights

  • Sophomore Andreas Savva tallied game highs in shots (three) and shots on goal (two).
  • Among the Crimson's field players, senior Jan Riecke, senior Ludovico Rollo, and sophomore Erik Dalaker all played the full 90 minutes.
  • Harvard tallied 10 shots in the match and has now posted double-figure shots in four of five games on the season.
  • The Crimson matched the Catamounts in corner kicks (3-3), while trailing narrowly in shots (12-10) and shots on goal (5-3).
