PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown men’s soccer team (5-4-2, 1-1-1 Ivy) dropped their match 3-0 to No. 2 Bryant (12-0-1, 3-0-0 America East) on Tuesday night at Stevenson-Pincince Field.<\/p>\n
“Obviously we’re disappointed with the result tonight, but I’m really proud of the guys for their performance,” Friends of Brown Men’s Soccer Head Coaching Chair Chase Wileman<\/a> said. “I think we were really good tonight despite the results, and there were a lot of positives that we can take from this.”<\/p>\n Senior goalkeeper Henrik Weiper<\/a> made his first start since Brown’s loss to UConn last month (Sept. 10). Weiper faced 10 shots in tonight’s contest, making four saves.<\/p>\n The Bears held strong for the majority of the first half, with their defense playing a large role in blocking shots and limiting Bryant’s opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Bulldogs struck first, with Abdel Talabi getting Bryant on the board in the 37th minute. Paco Fernandez took a corner kick that Talabi headed into the net, to give Bryant the 1-0 advantage heading into the break.<\/p>\n In the 67th minute, the Bears were issued a yellow card resulting in a penalty kick for Bryant. They were able to capitalize on the opportunity extending their lead over Brown, 2-0.<\/p>\n In the bottom half of the second, Weiper made a full-extension save, tapping the ball over the backside of the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n Brown matched Bryant in recording five shots in the second half. Four different Bears posted shots throughout the match (Dafe, Mitchell,Hille, and Wharton).<\/p>\n Bryant was able to squeeze one final goal in to close the night out with a 3-0 final.<\/p>\n Up Next BROWN UNIVERSITY SPORTS FOUNDATION FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
