Tech soccer loses to Tiffin in OT

HOUGHTON — The Michigan Tech soccer team lost a GLIAC match 2-1 in overtime against Tiffin Sunday afternoon at Sherman Field. The Huskies rallied to tie the match in the 71st minute after the Dragons had taken a 1-0 lead. Tiffin got the game-winning goal just over four minutes into the extra frame.

“It was a disappointing way to end the game,” Michigan Tech head coach Michelle Jacob said. “I thought we had a lot of good opportunities that were right there, but we just couldn’t finish them..”

Neither team cracked the scoreboard in the first half so it remained 0-0 going into period number two on Sunday. In the 56th minute, the Dragons would break the deadlock when Adrianna Currie connected on her seventh goal of the season. She faked right and cut back to the left and found an open spot in the upper left corner of the goal for a 1-0 Tiffin lead.

The Huskies had a couple of chances to tie it during the next few minutes but finally did in the 71st minute on a blast by senior Taylor Archibald. Freshman Brooke Schauer played the ball up through the middle of the field, delivering a perfect pass to Archibald who had a clean look at the net. She fired the ball past the keeper into the upper left corner of the net for her second goal of the season. Schauer was credited with her first career assist.

The Dragons got the game-winner with 5:48 left on the clock in overtime. Currie fed the ball to Taylor Lewis who got behind the defense and then chipped the ball up in the air and into the net for the game-deciding goal.
