Men’s Soccer Remains Unbeaten With 2-2 Draw At Fordham
October 01, 2022 | Men's Soccer
Evan Fournier scored in the eighth minute while Shizu Yohena added a goal in the 75th-minute.
BRONX, N.Y.– The University of Massachusetts men's soccer team remained unbeaten with a 2-2 draw on the road at Fordham on Saturday night. The Minutemen (5-0-5 Overall, 0-0-2 Atlantic 10) took a 2-1 lead on a Shizu Yohena goal in the 75th-minute before a late Ram equalizer.
Yohena's second goal of the year gave the Minutemen a one goal advantage with just over a quarter hour left of play as the forward sent a right-footed shot from outside of the 18-yard box over the keeper and into the top right corner of goal. Evan Fournier played Yohena through to set up the opportunity and was credited with his team-leading fourth of the year.
Fournier also added a goal on the evening as he got the scoring started in the eighth minute with his third goal of the year off an assist from Andrew Ortiz to make it a 1-0 game less than 10 minutes in.
Fordham's Daniel Espeleta answered back with the first of his two goals on the night in the 30th-minute to tie at 1-1. Espeleta knotted it up again with just under two minutes left with his second goal in the 89th-minute to make it a 2-2 contest.
Matt Zambetti stopped three shots in the first 22 minutes of play and finished with four saves on the night. Fordham finished with a 15 to 12 shot advantage while the Minutemen put six of their 12 shots on frame. Forwards Alec Hughes and Nick Zielonka each put a pair of shots on target to lead UMass.
The Minutemen continue Atlantic 10 play on Wednesday at George Washington at 1 p.m. and return home on Saturday to host Saint Joseph's at Rudd Field at noon.
