Men's Soccer Falls in Extra Time at Houghton

HOUGHTON, NY - The Utica College men's soccer team fell in extra time in its Empire 8 Conference opener on Saturday. Houghton's Andy Loomis broke a 1-1 tie just 1:45 into extra time to propel the hosts to a 2-1 win in Houghton, NY. 

The Highlanders outshot the Pioneers 10-7 overall, and 7-3 on the frame of goal over the course of the match. Utica held a 3-2 edge in corner kicks. 

Foti Xidias (Carteret, NJ/Carteret) made five saves in goal for Utica. 

The only scoring of regulation time came on own goals as the Pioneers picked up a goal in the 25th minute, and the Highlanders forced extra time with a Utica own goal in the 85th. That set the stage for Loomis to put the match in favor of the home side.

Utica returns to the pitch on Sunday at Alfred State. The match begins at 1 p.m.
