Finding yourselves down 1-0 after a first-minute goalkeeping blunder is one of sport’s biggest gut-punches. The Husky men’s soccer team looked disjointed for the first 30 minutes of Sunday’s NCAA championship match, after a missed clearance by goalkeeper Sam Fowler 30 seconds into the game. The Clemson Tigers added another goal off a perfectly placed header in the 15th minute, and the score remained 2-0 until the final whistle. The Huskies fought hard to score in the second half, but came away as runners-up in a historic season for Husky men’s soccer.
