Seattle U 2, Bakersfield 2 (2OT) |
Read Full ArticleSeattle University men’s soccer (3-8-2, 2-0-1 WAC) found themselves down early but fought back and battled preseason WAC favorite, Bakersfield (3-6-2, 1-1-1 WAC), to a double overtime draw, 2-2.
“We’re making progress because we were down, 1-0, and we came back,” said head coach Pete Fewing. “Then we were down, 2-1, and we came back again. We had a lot of good chances and we’re competing a lot better than we were at the beginning of the season. I can’t fault the guys for effort, especially because we played two games in less than 48 hours. I think the guys are starting to have a stronger desire to win, which is critical. We’ll travel to Bakersfield and UNLV and take care of business down there.”
