Falcons Fall at WVU; Now Prepare for MAC Tournament
November 04, 2021 | Men's Soccer
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University scored a pair of goals just over a minute apart in the second half Thursday night (Nov. 4), downing the Bowling Green State University men's soccer team by a 2-0 final. The Mid-American Conference match was held at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
Luke McCormick and Frederik Jorgensen scored the goals for the Mountaineers (11-2-4, 4-1-1 MAC), with McCormick's marker coming just past the hour mark and Jorgensen doubling the lead just 74 seconds later.
McCormick's goal came after BGSU goalkeeper Brendan Graves had saved his initial shot. The Falcon sophomore blocked McCormick's point-blank one-timer after a right-side cross, but the WVU striker poked at the rebound and was able to trundle it just over the line.
Jorgensen knocked home the rebound of a shot that had hit the post, giving the Mountaineers a 2-0 lead with 61:29 gone.
Graves made four saves on the night, while WVU 'keeper Steven Tekesky had two stops at the other end of the field.
The Falcons now turn their attention toward next week's MAC Tournament.
STATS, NOTES & NUMBERS
• The Mountaineers had advantages of 14-7 in total shots and 6-2 in shots on goal. The Falcons had a 5-4 lead in corner kicks, and WVU committed 14 fouls to BGSU's nine.
• McCormick led all players with six total shots and three shots on goal.
• Alberto Anaya and Abdi Faqi each had two shot attempts to pace the Brown and Orange.
The Falcons now have a record of 35-18-7 over the last 60 matches, dating to late in the 2018 season. Twelve of the 17 setbacks in that time have come by a single goal.
