Box Score DAVIE, Fla.—The Christian Brothers University Bucs scored two second-half goals to rally past No. 19 Florida Tech 2-1 on a stormy night at the Nova Southeastern Soccer Complex Friday night.
Just over 30 minutes into the game, a thunderstorm moved through the area, causing a 40-minute lightning delay. Just after the delay ended, in the 35th minute, Florida Tech's Kalle Mansson scored on a free kick to put the Panthers (7-3-1) in front.
The Bucs (8-3) scored in the 69th minute, when
Michael Hollier (Lafayette, La./Teurlings HS) chipped a rainbow shot over the goalkeeper into the net. Just over nine minutes later, in the 79th minute,
Alex Bermel (Memphis, Tenn./White Station HS) crossed a ball into
Jose Ferraz (Belo Horizonte, Brazil/) in the six-yard box for the game-winner.
The Bucs won despite being outshot 11-6, but they held a 5-4 edge in shots on goal. Both
Jaime Garcia (San Salvador, El Salvador/Lincoln School) and Florida Tech's Derrick Hackett made three saves each.
The Bucs remain at Nova Southeastern, where they face the hosts Sunday at noon in their final non-conference game of the season. The Bucs open GSC play at home next Friday night at 7 p.m. against West Florida.
