Men's Soccer Falls Short in 2-1 Loss to Wesley

(boxscore)

Junior Brian James (Perkasie, PA) scored to give Widener a first-half lead, but the squad could not hold on in a 2-1 loss to Wesley at the Garnet Alumni Classic.

 

James got a free kick from 25 yards and buried it inside the right post in the 27th minute.  It was his first goal of the season for the Pride (1-2).

 

The Wolverines (2-1) tied it in the 43rd minute on a breakaway goal from Frank Buffa.  Kyle Long scored what proved to be the decisive goal in the 82nd minute, heading in a corner kick from Saidu Fofanah.

 

Senior Hamed Correa (Cali, Colombia) made eight saves for Widener.  He had a great diving stop late in the opening half off Fofanah's shot and also robbed Fofanah in front just before the go-ahead marker.

 

Nick Talarico had three saves for Wesley.

James and freshman Drew Hilinski (Perkasie, PA) each were named to the all-tournament team.

 

Widener on Wednesday hosts Philadelphia Biblical at 4:00 pm.
