Sept. 6, 2015 Box Score
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. â€" The USD men's soccer team (2-1-1) fell to Denver 2-1 Sunday afternoon in Albuquerque, N.M. for their first loss of the 2015 season. After falling behind, Torrey DeArmas tied the match with a 26th minute goal. However, the Pioneers scored the game-winner in the 85th minute.
The Pioneers got on the scoreboard first with a goal in the 22nd minute. Alex Underwood sent a cross into the box, forcing Thomas Olsen to make a save. However, the deflection bounced right to Sam Hamilton, who tapped it in to give Denver an early 1-0 lead.
The lead didn't last long though; the Toreros evened the score at one apiece just four minutes later. Eric Budniewski sent a great ball over the top to Torrey DeArmas, who made a nice cut back move and then finished from eight yards out. It was the second goal of the season for DeArmas.
Outside of DeArmas' goal, the Toreros managed just one more shot on goal. They finished with eight total shot attempts; Denver had 11.
The Pioneers retook the lead in the 85th minute when Chandler Crosswait snuck one inside the far post from ten yards out. He was assisted by Reagan Dunk.
Senior midfielder Darragh Vieyra and junior defender Merlin Hoeckendorff were USD's representatives on the All-Tournament Team.
Thomas Olsen (2-1-1) made four saves, but was saddled with his first loss of the season.
The Toreros return home on Friday when they host No. 13 UC Irvine at 7:00 p.m. at Torero Stadium.
