M-Soccer: SMU at Dartmouth/Harvard

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

The Mustangs head north for two big games this weekend. Friday night against Dartmouth and Sunday afternoon against Harvard.

SMU obviously wants to turn things around after a disappointing 0-2-1 start (even if the two losses are against top 5 teams).

SMU preview for the weekend:

Go Ponies!

The men have started in scenic Dartmouth, NH!

0-0 HT.

The stats are pretty even, although Dartmouth came on a bit towards the end of the half.

Dartmouth has the edge in shots (6-4), shots on goal (1-0), and corners (3-1). Fouls are even at 3-3.

Obviously, Nelson is out tonight on the red card suspension, but the other item of note is no Michael King so far tonight.

Hopefully the second half will go well for the Mustangs. This lack of offense is unfortunately starting to become a trend...

Dartmouth up 1-0 in 53rd minute.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

1-1!!!!! Andrew Morales evens things up in the 63rd minute!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Dartmouth down to 10 men with a straight red in the 70th minute!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Seriously? Dartmouth makes it 2-1 on a penalty kick just 18 seconds after going down a man.

Edit: SMU had the PK and Tyler Engel converted. 2-1 SMU!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Dartmouth wins 2-1.

Dartmouth had the edge in shots (13-9), shots on goal (4-1), and corners (5-2).

Edit: SMU wins 2-1!!!!!!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Nevermind.

Just saw the update on twitter! That makes a lot more sense. I found it hard to believe they could get a PK that quickly after a red!

I'm sure it was nice for the team to finally play a man up for a change...
