The Tulsa men's soccer team dropped a 6-2 decision to #4-ranked Maryland in an exhibition contest on Sunday afternoon at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium. The teams battled for three 35-minute periods, which is unlike the two-45 minute periods of the regular season.
Junior defender Zack Stavrou put the Golden Hurricane on the board first as he scored on a corner kick taken by senior midfielder Ray Saari with just 1:45 ticked off the clock.
The Terrapins' Sebastian Elney evened the score nearly 38 minutes later as he put one into the back of the net after dribbling around two defenders.
Saari drilled in a penalty kick in the 51st minute to give TU a 2-1 lead, but Gordon Wild scored on a PK in the 61st minute to even the score once again. The score remained tied through the first two periods, or 70 minutes.
"I thought in the first two periods, our defensive organization was pretty good," Head Coach Tom McIntosh said. "I thought we could have possessed the ball better and moved the ball better, but overall I thought they guys handled their responsibilities well. From an attacking standpoint, I thought we created a few other good chances we could have scored on, but for the first time out it was decent."
In the third frame, UMD tallied four goals, coming from Jorge Calix, Mike Heitzmann, Wild and D.J. Reeves.
Maryland had an 18-4 lead in shots, including an 8-2 advantage in shots on goal, and a 6-3 lead in corner kicks.
The Golden Hurricane will return to action on Friday, August 19 against Oklahoma Wesleyan. The Eagles were Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season and tournament champions a year ago, posting a 20-1 overall record and finishing in the second round of the NAIA Soccer Championship.
