Eagles Drop to Goucher on the Road

TOWSON, Md. – The Juniata men's soccer team fell to Goucher 3-1 on the road Saturday afternoon. The Eagles' only goal came from Nathan Weick in the first half, while the Gophers outshot Juniata 13-4. 

The Gophers kicked things off early with a goal in the sixth minute of play. Jase Colino regained possession after tracking down a ball headed for the end line. He turned, beat a defender, and tried to put the ball back into play. Receiving the ball again after it bounced off a defender, Colino sent a flick over the Gopher defenders and keeper for Weick to tap the ball into the net to even the playing field. 

Ian Edwards tried to get ahead in the 27^th minute. Beating his defender in a footrace while receiving the ball to his right foot, Edwards took a shot, but an approaching Gopher keeper made the quick save. Goucher scored once more in the first half to head into halftime up 2-1.

The Gophers scored their third goal in the 69^th minute of play.

Brandon Marzula tried to capitalize on Eagle possession, taking a shot right outside the box, but the keeper made the save. Marzula had a second chance with less than ten minutes to go in the center of the field about 25 yards out. Pushing past a defender, his shot was not enough to get past the keeper.

Axel Grater made three saves on the day.
