They nearly did it again.
Under Stu Riddle Men’s Soccer has made a habit of late-game dramatics, especially in MAC play. It was a year ago against tonight’s opponent that Russell Cicerone sealed his MAC Player of the Year candidacy with a thrilling score in the 89th minute.
In tonight’s 89th minute, Daniel Cramarossa hit the crossbar with UB’s ninth shot of the night, but the Bulls couldn’t punch another late winner in and the match ultimately ended in a 0-0 draw. Combined with Akron’s late 2-0 lead on WMU, it became apparent midway through the second half that Bowling Green and Buffalo were on target for a rematch in the MAC Semifinals barring UB conceding a goal.
