Minutemen Fall To Colgate In First Round Of NCAA Tournament, 2-0
November 16, 2017 | Men's Soccer
UMass out-shot the Raiders 15 to eight in the contest.
AMHERST, Mass. – The No. 24-ranked University of Massachusetts men's soccer team fell to Colgate 2-0 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on a wet Thursday afternoon at Rudd Field. The Minutemen finished their season as the A-10 regular season and postseason champions with a record of 15-4-3.
Â
Colgate (11-10-1 Overall) put in two first half goals to put the pressure on UMass for the remainder of the match. In the 11th-minute, the Raiders put in the first goal of the afternoon on a shot by Jared Stroud that bounced off the right post past a diving Bardia Asefnia and into the foot of Karl Brown for the goal. Stroud scored near the end of the half in the 38th-minute to give the Raiders a 2-0 lead that would withstand the UMass attack until the final whistle.
Â
The Minutemen attack sped up in the final 45 minutes as UMass out-shot their opponent 8-2 during the span. UMass had multiple chances to pull within one after an Alex DeSantis shot in the 74th-minute started a stretch where the home team took two corner kicks and three shots in the final 16 minutes.
Â
Jack Fulton just missed wide with one of his four shots, coming off the second corner for UMass during the span from Konrad Gorich. Gorich put a shot on target for UMass while Casey Hamill added two on target.
