GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Men's Soccer (4-9-2, 2-7-1) was handed a 3-1 loss by the Cornerstone Golden Eagles (5-8-4, 3-5-2) on Wednesday night. Despite tying the game in the first half, the Warriors weren't able to match the scoring output by Cornerstone in the second half.
Rochester was out-shot in this game 18-11, with that disparity really showing in the second half. The Warriors matched the shot total of the Golden Eagles in the first half, including a Nik Gjonaj goal in the 29th minute, but Rochester only got off four shots in the final 45 minutes of play.
The Warriors would go down in the 17th minute but would answer 12 minutes later on the aforementioned Gjonaj goal. However, Rochester wasn't able to find offensive momentum later in the game despite shooting five shots on goal.
