UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, OHIO – John Carroll scores two second-half goals and came from behind to defeat the Otterbein men’s soccer team Tuesday afternoon in conference action.
Otterbein struck first, going ahead 1-0 when senior forward Matt Beckett scored his eighth goal of the season on a header that came into the box off a lofted pass from senior Cody DiLauro.
The score came in just the seventh minute and was Becket’ss first since his four-goal performance against Urbana nearly one month ago.
The contest headed to halftime with the Cards holding a 1-0 advantage.
John Carroll evened the game at 1-1 in the 587th minute when Andrew Fatigati retrieved a pass and slipped it into the back of the goal.
Both teams continued to fight in the tie game until the 75:42 mark, when Kyle Buxman took a long feed pass and beat Otterbein keeper Alex Kamphaus for the go-ahead score.
The Cards were unable to find the back of the net the rest of the way as JCU earned a 2-1 OAC victory.
Carroll held an 18-11 shot advantage, and took all three of the game’s corner kicks.
Senior Dave Dziedzicki stopped four shots in the first half of play for OC while Kamphaus tallied one save in the second 45 minutes.
Mike Telzrow stopped two shots for the Blue Streaks.
The team next returns home to host Ohio Northern on Saturday afternoon. Game time from Clements Field is set for 2 p.m.
