Maryland men’s soccer falls to Missouri State in heartbreaking fashion, 2-1

With just 35 seconds in regulation, Maryland men's soccer fell apart in the closing moments in a win-or-go-home situation.

The clock was beginning to wind down and overtime was creeping up on both squads until a lofted cross found the feet of Bears’ sophomore forward Jon Koka, who was alone and streaking toward freshman goalie Jamie Lowell. Koka made no mistake with his breakaway and kicked home the game-winning goal to give Missouri State a 2-1 lead in the dying moments of regulation.

Missouri State’s last-minute goal led to a 2-1 loss for Maryland Sunday afternoon, as the Terps officially got bounced from the second round of the NCAA Tournament at UNCW Soccer Stadium in North Carolina.
