The men’s soccer team (3-7-1, 0-0-1 Mid-American Conference) took a double-overtime draw in its first conference game against the University of West Virginia Mountaineers.
A 1-1 tie forced the Huskies and the Mountaineers into overtime Saturday, where the most significant moment in the game occurred.
Junior forward Giovanni Pacheco collided with Mountaineers freshman forward Tsubasa Takada while going for a header. Pacheco was issued a red card forcing the Huskies to play a man down.
Head Coach Ryan Swan was pleased with his team’s defensive play after losing Pacheco.
“I thought the response from the guys was very good,” Swan said.
