On Friday night, the Shippensburg University Men’s Soccer team failed to score, and were shutout by Washington Adventist, who won in the second overtime period, 1-0.
Samuel Kahsi scored the lone goal, and Adventist escaped with a victory despite being outshot 21-9 by the Raiders. Kahsi had a game high five shots, and finally got one into the net in the second overtime. Despite another strong performance from sophomore keeper Evan Raimist, the Raiders couldn’t find a way to score on Adventist’s goalie, Jordhon Horelien, who made 13 saves.
Although the Red Raiders had four players with three or more shots, no one could get the ball past Horelien, who helped Adventist improve to 4-1-1 on the season. The tough non-league loss drops the Raiders to 2-2-1 on the season, as they prepare to enter PSAC play.
The Red Raiders return to David See Field on Wednesday, Sep. 24 against PSAC opponent California University of Pennsylvania, before traveling to face Slippery Rock on Saturday, Sep. 27. A return home should benefit the Red Raiders, who are 2-0-0 on David See Field this season, and have outscored opponents 5-1 at home.
