Bulldogs Battle in Narrow 2-1 Road League Loss at Longwood
10.21.2017 | Men's Soccer
FARMVILLE, Va. – UNC Asheville men's soccer controlled things in the match, but it was Longwood that picked up a narrow 2-1 Big South Conference win over the Bulldogs on Saturday, Oct. 21.
All three goals in the match were scored in the first half.
The Lancers (1-14-1, 1-4-0 Big South Conference) scored in the second minute off the boot of Sammy Dupuy. Longwood would add another in the 28th-minute when Connor Rea was assisted by Dupuy.
The Bulldogs (1-14-0, 0-5-0 Big South Conference) would respond less than a couple of minutes later when Brendan O'Dowd scored his third career goal. O'Dowd's goal came off a chipped in cross from Ben Chapal. O'Dowd fully took advantage of the cross by finishing it to the far post.
UNC Asheville absolutely dominated the second half statistically with the Bulldogs outshooting the Lancers, 9-4.
The Bulldogs overall outshot Longwood, 15-10, in the match. Both teams had three corner kick opportunities in the match.

#ThePursuit Man of the Match
For his goal and his overall efforts in the match against Longwood, UNC Asheville's Brendan O'Dowd was tabbed as #ThePursuit Man of the Match by head coach Mathes Mennell and the men's soccer coaching staff.
Quotable
"It was a fantastic response after the second Longwood goal from our group, and we were excellent in the second half. However, when you concede easily, it creates a tough hill to climb. Add that to being on the road and against a Longwood team that was desperate to win, you are asking a lot. The reality is that we are living on the slimmest of margins as it pertains to the Big South and the only thing we can do is win our remaining games and hope the other results go our way." - Head Coach Mathes Mennell
Up Next
UNC Asheville men's soccer will next play its final road Big South Conference match of the season with the Bulldogs traveling to Rock Hill, S.C. to face Winthrop on Wednesday, Oct. 25. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
