Men's Soccer Falls in Overtime for Second Straight Game

Illinois Springfield 1, Parkside 0
Parkside men's soccer suffered their second straight loss Thursday after conceiving a late goal to Illinois Springfield. The back-and-forth affair was level until the 92nd minute, when the Prairie Stars' Dan Mahony scored the game winner.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
There was virtually nothing to separate the two teams for all of regulation. Parkside registered ten shots while UIS registered 13. Parkside tallied three corner kicks while the Prairie Stars tallied four. The Rangers committed nine fouls, while UIS had 11 of their own. In the end, it only took two minutes of overtime for the Prairie Stars to find the winner. After a Juan Gonzalez save that fell back into the box, UIS's Dan Mahony found the rebound, and headed the ball past a diving Gonzalez to end the game.
 
STATWORTHY
Senior goalkeeper Juan Gonzalez was solid in goal, totaling eight saves on the day. The Rangers were led in attack by redshirt-senior Leki Prpa, who had four shots, two of them being on goal. Three other players were tied for second in shots with two each.
 
WHAT'S NEXT
Parkside will stay on the road for a matchup against Ohio Valley on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. The Rangers will then return home to take on Upper Iowa on Friday, Sept. 20 at 2:30 p.m.
