Men's Soccer Blanked at No.12 Lipscomb

Ospreys Suffer First Loss Since Sept. 17

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - North Florida men's soccer (2-7-3, 1-3-2 ASUN) showed strong defense with great effort in the first half, but three Bisons goals in seven minutes was too much to overcome at Lipscomb (11-1-2, 6-0-0 ASUN) on Saturday night.

The Ospreys held one of the highest scoring offenses in the nation scoreless for the first 60 minutes, while facing a season-high 18 total shots, including seven on goal. UNF was the first team since No. 5 Kentucky on Sept. 20, to hold the Bison scoreless in the first half.


GOALS

60' | Scott Gulden (Noah Gulden) - LIP
65' | Jelldrik Dallman - LIP
66' | Alejandro Lopez (Noah Gulden) - LIP


HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The match started with little action through the first 15 minutes, as the first shot didn't occur until the 16th minute from Lipscomb.
  • Micah Gun made the diving save on the free kick shot in the 16th minute that was just outside the box.
  • Joaquin Acuna took the Ospreys' first shot on goal from distance, but it rolled into the keeper's arms for it to stay scoreless.
  • Another shot was taken from UNF by Scott Beeks, but it was wide of the goal in the 27th minute.
  • North Florida faced consecutive shots in the 34th minute, but both opportunities were off the mark.
  • Herbie Steigelman got an opportunity a few minutes before half, but it hit the top woodwork to secure a 0-0 score at half.
  • Another pair of shots by Lipscomb went on goal in the 53rd minute, but great defense by UNF denied both shots with a pair of saves.
  • The Bison scored in the 60th minute off a shot inside the box from Scott Gulden that bounced into the net.
  • Lipscomb scored another goal just five minutes later after a loss ball fell to the feet of Jelldrik Dallmann to put in for the score.
  • The third goal of the night was scored just under two minutes afterwards by Alejandro Lopez.
  • The Osprey defense still stood tall in the final minutes of the game after denying a few more shots, but it wasn't enough with the game ending 3-0 in favor of the Bison.

QUICK KICKS

  • First loss in just over a month for UNF, which came against Stetson at home on Sept. 17.
  • Gun suffered the first loss of his Osprey career in his sixth start as the keeper this season.
  • First time this season UNF has allowed more than two goals.
  • Beeks made his first start in over a month at FAU on Sept. 20.
  • Ospreys are still tied with Liberty for the sixth and last spot in ASUN postseason contention with two conference games remaining.


FROM THE MOUTH OF MARINATOS

"We played a great first half. We were unlucky not to get a goal on two set pieces. In the second half we made some critical mistakes leading to the first goal on the corner. After that, we stopped competing the same way and gave up two quick goals to go down, 3-0. Lipscomb is a very good team and very dangerous up front. We have to compete for a full 90 minutes. We still control our own destiny in the league. We have to bounce back and be collective heading into a non-conference match on Tuesday at College of Charleston."
-- head coach Derek Marinatos


UP NEXT

The Ospreys will hop over to Charleston, S.C., to play in their final non-conference game, as well as their final road game, of the regular season in a midweek matchup against College of Charleston on Tuesday, Oct. 25, at 6 p.m.
