Box Score
DENVER, Colo. - The Oral Roberts men's soccer
team closed its Colorado trip on Sunday afternoon with a weekend
split as the Golden Eagles fall to Denver, 4-0.
With the loss, the Golden Eagles record drops to 1-6 on the
season. On Saturday, the Golden Eagles return home for their Summit
League opener at 7 p.m. at the Case Soccer Complex.
While the men hosted three exhibition contests at the beginning
of the season, the match against Oakland will mark the first time
the Golden Eagles take the pitch at home for a regular season
contest.
The Golden Eagles were coming off their first victory of the
season on Friday at Air Force, but the momentum didn't carry over
as the Pioneers controlled the ball much of the contest. ORU wasn't
able to get any solid looks at goal in the 90 minutes of action as
they were outshot the Pioneers, 29-7.
Cody
Lofgren had three of the Golden Eagle shots, while Tyler
Hill, Tom
Adams, Gerardo
Salas and Johnny
Chavez each added one.
Splitting time in goal for the Golden Eagles was Isaac
Sandoval and Ryan
Grashik. Sandoval was called upon to start the match, playing
just over 24 minutes, picking up a save and allowing the opening
goal to the Pioneers in the 11th minute. Grashik entered
the game in the 25th minute, knocking down five saves
and allowing the final three goals.
Sandoval earns the loss, dropping him to 1-1 on the season.
