CHICAGO \u2013 Despite recording a season-high 23 shots, DePaul men’s soccer fell to Bowling Green 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon at Wish Field. The Blue Demons conceded a pair of goals in a two-minute span in the second half and could only get one back off the boot of Noeh Hernandez<\/a> in the 63rd minute, falling to 2-2-5 on the season.<\/p>\n

Hernandez put away his third goal of the fall campaign for the Blue Demons while matching his career-high with seven shots in the contest.<\/p>\n

The Blue Demons outworked Bowling Green in the final third, owning a 10-1 edge in corner kick opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How It Happened

\nThe DePaul back line was tested early as the Falcons had a shot on goal and a corner kick within the first 90 seconds of the match.<\/p>\n

In the 17th minute, Hernandez had DePaul’s first shot on frame after Nathan Laird<\/a> won a ball in the corner and played it through to the edge of the box to set up a chance that was directed to the center of the cage into the arms of the Falcons goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

From that point on, the Blue Demons turned up the pressure with Tyler Flowers<\/a>, Christian Baumgarnter and Luca Iaccino<\/a> all having close calls within the next six minutes of action.<\/p>\n

DePaul held a 13-4 edge in shots through the first 45 minutes while owning a 6-1 advantage in corner kick opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bowling Green (3-3-2) turned up the pace in the second half, firing five of the first seven shots of the stanza in which a pair of those resulted in goals within two minutes of each other. The Falcons led 2-0 after 57 minutes of play.<\/p>\n

Searching for a breakthrough, the Blue Demons put a pair of shots on goal before Hernandez converted on a free kick from 22 yards out to trim the deficit to one in the 64th minute.<\/p>\n

The Blue Demons registered the final seven shots of the match in search of an equalizer but couldn’t get one to fall as time expired.<\/p>\n
