Men's Soccer Slips at Coastal Carolina, 4-3
Oct. 6, 2007
CONWAY, SC - The George Washington men's soccer team battled back from a one-goal deficit to take a 3-2 halftime lead, but couldn't maintain the advantage in the second half and fell to the host Coastal Carolina Chanticleers 4-3 on Saturday evening. The loss ends the Colonials two-match winning streak.
GW (5-4-0) sophomore Erick Perez-Segnini netted his fifth goal of the season off an assist from senior Abimbola Pedro at the 24:01 mark of the first half, but Coastal Carolina got the equalizer just 23 seconds later and took a 2-1 lead in the 34th minute. Pedro now has a team-leading six assists this season.
The Colonials fired back on sophomore Kyle Albrecht's first tally of the season just over a minute after the Chanticleers took their lead.
Sophomore Andrew Kroculick ended a high-scoring first 45 minutes with his first goal of the year 39 seconds before the intermission to give GW a 3-2 edge. Senior Thomas Stuber and rookie Steve Wujek were credited with assists. The point is the first of Wujek's collegiate career.
Coastal Carolina (4-5-1) would capitalize on a pair of free kicks to deal the Colonials a loss in their eighth consecutive one-goal affair. Djamel Bekka knotted the match at 3-3 with a free-kick strike in the 64th minute and MKohokheli Dube knocked in the game-winner nine minutes later.
Albrecht and sophomore Byron Walker had chances late in the match, but couldn't push the Colonials through for the eqaulizer.
CCU held a slim 16-15 advantage in shots and 8-3 edge in corners, while GW led in shots on goal 8-5.
Senior goalkeeper Greg Yahr was forced to make just one save in 90 minutes of action. Counterpart Phillip Latham turned away five shots.
