The Georgia Southwestern men's soccer team lost 2-1 to West
Florida on Monday afternoon at Hurricane Field. Freshman
Jamie Kiep scored his first goal of the season and the lone goal
for the 'Canes off an assist from junior Michael Moses.
The two teams were scoreless until the 58th minute when Paul
Willoughby scored his first goal of the
year for West Florida (3-0-1) from just outside the
box.
The visiting Argonauts struck again six minutes later when
Christian Cabral dribbled through the Hurricane defense and scored
his first goal of 2008 from 10 yards out.
GSW cut the lead in half at the 87:12 mark when Moses found Kiep
up the middle for the score from eight yards away.
The late pressure from GSW wasn't enough and for a second
straight game 2-1 was the final. All six goals over the
two-game span have come in the second half.
Sophomore John Scharnikow had six saves for GSW. David McNally
stopped one for West Florida. The Argonauts outshot GSW 18-3 and
led 8-1 in corner kicks.
With the loss, the Hurricanes finish their season-opening
homestand 0-4. GSW hits road for the first time in 2008
and is at St. Leo on Friday for a 7 p.m. match.
