CHARLOTTE, N.C. - After a wild first half that saw four goals,
Anderson University men's soccer could not find a game-winning
goal, as Queens University of Charlotte knocked in a golden goal
with seconds left in the first overtime period and snapped the
Trojans' five-match South Atlantic Conference winning streak, 3-2,
Wednesday evening at the Queens Sports Complex.
With the setback, the Trojans drop their second straight road
contest and move to 7-6-1 on the season with a 6-3 mark within the
conference. The Royals, who are a perfect 4-0 against AU since
joining the SAC before the 2013 season, improve to a perfect 7-7
overall record with 5-4 mark in the league.
The goals came quickly, as just before the two-minute mark,
Queens found the scoreboard when freshman Corey Brown chipped in
the home side's first goal of the evening when a through ball was
placed into the box from teammate Marc-Kevin Schwenk. Moments later
in the eighth minute, Brown assisted on Schwenk's goal, as the
Royals took an early 2-0 lead.
Anderson bounced back in the 27th minute when defender Nick
Bryant fed senior striker Andre Carle for his sixth goal on the
season, pushing the score to 2-1. In the 37th minute, Carle struck
again when he blew by the Royal backline to even the score at 2-2.
For Carle, the goal would give him his second multi-goal match this
season and his sixth goal in his last six contests.
As the 2-2 score sent the match to the halftime break, both
teams could not find a game-winner in the next 45 minutes, sending
the conference clash into overtime. In the previous three matchups
between Anderson and Queens, three meetings needed extra time.
With the clock reading less than 10 seconds to play, Brown found
the home side's golden goal with just two seconds left to give the
Royals the 3-2 victory. For Brown, the goal was his eighth of the
season.
The Trojan offense was led by Carle with four shots, while
defender Josh Calabria followed with two shots and one shot on
frame. AU goalkeeper Devon Ashy grabbed four saves, while his
counterpart, Matt Current closed the match with a match-high five
saves.
Anderson looks to get back on the winning track on Saturday when
it returns to Trojan Stadium for Homecoming against Lincoln
Memorial. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
