Box Score CALEDONIA, Mich.—Northern Michigan University Men's Soccer (2-5-1, 0-4 GLIAC) fell victim to Davenport University (5-2-1, 2-1-1, GLIAC) Sunday evening, 2-0, to end their weekend road trip.
Neither team recorded a shot in the opening 15-minutes of the contests, but the Panthers quickly turned on the offense. In the next fifteen-minute span, DU outshot the Wildcats, 5-0. The first half ended with NMU failing to record a shot attempt and allowing seven to the Panthers.
The first Panthers' score came in the 69th-minute on a header by Cam Cavanagh off a 15-yard cross. DU went up a pair of goals in the 82nd-minute of play on an NMU own goal. The score would hold the rest of the way, giving Davenport the victory.
It took 72 minutes for NMU to record a hot when junior defender Kevin Hoof (Grove, Minnesota) put one on-target that was saved by the DU keeper. Late in the 88th-minute, junior forward Sam Popp (Northville, Michigan) recorded the only other NMU shot attempt that was also saved by the Panther keeper.
Defensively, sophomore goalkeeper Brayden Wilinski (Seymour, Wisconsin) entered the contests after sophomore goalkeeper Filippo Torelli (Parma, Italy) was ejected in the 19th minute. Wilinski recorded five saves facing seven shots on-goal in his 70 minutes of action.
Next up, the Wildcats return to the friendly confines hosting a pair of Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference matches beginning with Tiffin University Friday evening at 4 p.m. On Sunday, September 24, NMU will face with Ashland University at 1 p.m.
