Box Score St. Louis, MO.- Principia men's soccer dropped their second consecutive conference battle against Fontbonne University on Tuesday night in St. Louis. The disappointing loss leaves them with two conference losses in a tight SLIAC race.
Despite the driving winds and persistent rain, the game was full of high energy from both sides as the panthers and Griffins fought to take command of the game. The Panthers had the lions share in possession and chances created on the day but failed to capitalize on their opportunities. Principia conceded early in the first half from a free kick at the top of the box following a harsh challenge on a Griffin attacker. The Panthers would keep fighting back and were rewarded with three minutes in the match when a dashing
Briggs Hurley lay a tricky first time ball across the face of the goal for
Nate Waters to deliver the tying goal and send the game into overtime. The Griffins would seal the game early on when a defensive mix-up between the Panthers back resulted in a breakaway that sealed the game. Principia now get ready to face Webster University in a homecoming matchup on Saturday afternoon at 3pm.
