West Chester shocks Millersville with last-minute goal

Millersville, Pa. – The Millersville University men's soccer team fell to conference foe West Chester 2-1, in a late-goal finish Wednesday afternoon.

The Marauders drop to 4-3-4 and 2-2-1 in the conference. The Golden Rams improved their record to 6-2-2 and 3-1-1 in conference play.

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
• With the score tied at 1-1 and 19 seconds left on the clock, West Chester took a long free kick from deep in its own end. Doug Goitia gathered the bouncing ball and poked it past goalkeeper Darian McCauley for the game-winning goal. 
• The Marauders scored first, off a Chase Flickinger free kick in the 27th minute. Flickinger's booted the ball into middle of the box for Nathan Maynard, who bumped the pass off his chest and into the goal.
• The Marauders held the Golden Rams to no shots while totaling five in the second half. West Chester, however, flipped the script in the second half, totaling five shots to Millersville's one. 
• The Golden Rams evened the score in the 78th minute,when Colin Muller scored off an assist from Brett Miller.

HEAD COACH STEVE WIDDOWSON QUOTES
• "Extremely disappointed. This was a game we had in complete control at halftime, but we didn't do enough in the first half to make that dominance count. Then in the second half, we lost control of the game and gave West Chester the momentum they needed to come back."
• "(Maynard's goal) was a good set piece. We got a good delivery with the shape and pace we have been talking about on our services and then Nate just followed the ball in to get the touch it needed. It came from a good run and a ball put into a dangerous area."
• "We need everyone to start learning some lessons and taking accountability on the field. The decision making has to be better everywhere on the field and we have to stop repeating mistakes."

INDIVIDUAL LEADERS
• Maynard recorded his first goal this year.
• Flickinger led the team in shots with three. He had half of the total shots.

NOTES
• It was a physical game with both sides totaling 24 fouls.
• The six shots for the Marauders was their lowest total this season.

UP NEXT
• The Marauders take a trip west to Erie, Pa., to face Mercyhurst on Saturday, Oct. 6 for a 1:30 p.m. match.
