CHAMPS! Men’s Soccer Wins Atlantic East Title in Penalty Kicks

ARLINGTON, Va. – Marymount men's soccer scored an improbable game-tying goal against Neumann in the 88th minute on Saturday afternoon before going on to clinch the first conference title in program history via penalty kicks, 4-3.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Neumann jumped ahead in the 12th minute on a goal from Jake Kuzmick. The play was set up by a free kick from Eddie Proud that Kuzmick was able to head in off a deflection.
  • The Knights controlled most of the first half and went into halftime with the 1-0 lead.
  • In the second half, Marymount kept pushing for the equalizer and finally found a golden opportunity in the 88th minute.
  • Neumann was whistled for a handball in the box, which sent Marymount to the penalty spot with a chance to draw even.
  • Leonardo Torres calmly scored the penalty kick to draw Marymount even and set off a frenzy in the Saints' cheering section.
  • Marymount's best chance to secure the win came in the second overtime as Manny Gaunaurd beat the keeper but had his shot expertly knocked away by Neumann's last defender to keep the game tied.
  • In the penalty kick shootout, Neumann missed its first attempt and was forced to play from behind.
  • Marymount made its first two attempts but had its third attempt saved by Neumann.
  • Jonathan Guevara and Derek Rivera nailed MU's final two attempts to force Neumann into a do-or-die situation on its final attempt.
  • Neumann's final attempt hit the top crossbar to give Marymount the Atlantic East title.
  • After the match, Carlos Varona was honored as the Atlantic East Tournament MVP.
