DALLAS, TEXAS – Three unanswered goals from Vermont within the final 26 minutes of the game eliminated SMU from the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship on Sunday.
The 11th-seeded SMU had been undefeated at home for nine games straight – spanning the entire season – but they couldn’t keep the streak alive when it mattered the most against Vermont.
The Mustangs started off on the front foot, with an early goal just five minutes into the game. Midfielder Knut Ahlander intercepted the ball in midfield and sent it wide for winger Alexander Petraeus, who slotted the ball into the bottom left corner.
