Drake Men’s Soccer’s postseason chances took a hit on Saturday.
The Bulldogs (5u201110u20111, 2u20115u20111 MVC) took a corner and free kick in the first two-and-a-half minutes of extra time, but couldn’t convert. Getting caught in over-pursuit, Drake allowed a breakaway in the 95th minute and University of Central Arkansas’ (6-7-2, 3-3-1 MVC) Niklas Brodacki beat a charging Drake defender, made a pass around Drake’s backpedaling senior midfielder Mueng Sunday to junior midfielder William Woody who put away a golden goal for the 3-2 win.
“It’s tough,” senior midfielder Mueng Sunday said. “We were pushing for the goal and thought we could get that goal and when you give something up like that it really hurts, but it’s part of the game.
