NORTHFIELD, Vt. \u2013 The Norwich University men’s soccer team battled back from a two-goal halftime deficit on Saturday afternoon at Sabine Field, but Albertus Magnus College scored the eventual game-winner late in the second half to hand the Cadets a 3-2 setback in their first Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) matchup of the season.<\/p>\n

Albertus Magnus jumped out to an early advantage, scoring twice in the opening 14 minutes off of two free kicks.<\/p>\n

Norwich continued to generate\u00a0chances throughout the remainder of the opening half, with Shea Perkins<\/a> (Carl Junction, Mo.), Gabriel Cantarero<\/a> (Annapolis, Md.), Sharmarke Hassan<\/a> (Burlington, Vt.) and Diego Fuentes<\/a> (Valencia, Spain)\u00a0all testing the Falcons\u00a0goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

The Cadets came out with increased intensity in the final third\u00a0after halftime and quickly began to find more opportunities. Norwich registered 11 second-half shots after recording seven in the opening 45 minutes, hunting the back of the net in a far more ambitious manner than the opening half.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Norwich’s persistence paid off in the 60th minute when Fuentes converted a penalty kick to cut the deficit to 2-1. The junior midfielder continued to generate chances throughout the half, forcing saves from the Falcons keeper\u00a0in the 68th minute and again later in the match.<\/p>\n

The Cadets completed the comeback in the 74th minute when Brian Baek<\/a> found the back of the net to level the match at 2-2 from a gorgeous cut onto his left foot from the 25 yards out on the right wing. Norwich continued to press forward after drawing even, earning a pair of corner kicks and creating additional chances as it looked to complete the comeback.<\/p>\n

Albertus Magnus, however, regained the lead in the 79th minute, scoring\u00a0off a scrum in the 18 yard box to make it 3-2.<\/p>\n

Norwich continued to push for an equalizer over the final 11 minutes. The Cadets earned corner kicks in the 87th and 88th minutes and generated late attempts from Ben Rubinstein<\/a> (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.)\u00a0and Fuentes, but Albertus Magnus held on to secure the conference victory.<\/p>\n

Fuentes led the Cadets offensively with six shots, three of which were on frame, while Baek added a goal on one shot on goal.\u00a0Norwich finished the afternoon with an 18-8 advantage in total shots and a 9-4 edge in shots on goal.<\/p>\n

With the result, Norwich moves to 1-2-1 overall and 0-1-0 in GNAC play.<\/p>\n

The Cadets return to Sabine Field on Tuesday, Sept. 15, when they host SUNY Canton at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Next Game: SUNY Canton 9\/15\/2026 | 4:00 PM Sep. 15 (Tue) \/ 4:00 PM …\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":894260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-894259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=894259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/894260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=894259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=894259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=894259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
