LATE RALLY FALLS SHORT IN WILKES MEN'S SOCCER 3-2 LOSS AT FDU-FLORHAM
 
MADISON, NJ – The Wilkes University men's soccer team scored in the final minute to cut the FDU-Florham lead to 3-2 but could not find the equalizer in a Freedom Conference loss Saturday afternoon.
 
Wilkes slips to 3-11 overall and 1-1 in conference matches following the defeat. FDU-Florham improves to 3-7-3 overall and 1-1 on league games.
 
The host Devils took a two goal lead at 2-0 scoring one goal in the first half and a second just one minute into the second frame.
 
Wilkes answered with a goal from Hunter Murray (Aberdeem, MD/Aberdeem) off an Eric McAnena (Horsham, PA/Abington) assist to cut the lead in half 2-1 a the 68:11 mark. Murray headed home a cross from McAnena that found the back of the FDU-Florham net.
 
After FDU-Florham added another goal at the 86:11 mark to take a 3-1 lead, Eddie Metzger (Carlisle, PA/Carlisle) gave Wilkes hope heading in a corner kick from Justin Weaver (Bethlehem, PA/Liberty) with :48 remaining in the contest cutting the lead back to just one.
 
From there the Colonels were unable to muster another scoring opportunity to tie the game as FDU-Florham escaped with the home conference win.
 
Kyle Romm (Hampstead, MD/North Carroll) suffered the loss in net for Wilkes finishing with eight saves in the game.
 
Wilkes returns home for a Freedom Conference matchup with Delaware Valley College Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. at Schmidt Stadium.
