Box Score

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (9/15/13) – The University of Detroit Mercy men's soccer team held Dayton scoreless in the first half, but allowed one in the second half as the Titans fell to the Flyers 1-0 Sunday afternoon at Plaster Field. The loss was the first in regulation for Detroit.
 
Difficult for the Titans to find space early on in the match, with less than half to go in the opening period, Dayton (5-0) held a 3-0 advantage in the shooting column over Detroit (0-2-3). In fact, UDM's first shot came with 12 minutes to go in the first half off a header from Jesus Ginez.
 
Towards the end of the first half, UDM began to penetrate the Flyer defense and managed to gather three corner kicks for some opportunities at goal. In goal, Nathan Steinwascher recorded three saves against the high scoring Flyer offense.
 
Keeping up the speed from the first half, Dayton continued their rapid pace on offense, but Steinwascher came up with two fantastic saves to keep the match knotted at zero and avoid falling behind.
 
In need for some much needed energy Missouri native Aidan Kuhls entered the match and gave the Titans opportunities on the offensive end. Kuhls effort resulted in some corner opportunities for the Titans, but UDM could not capitalize.
 
Dayton, the No. 2 scoring team in the country would continue pressing the defense of the Titans, and Greg Enstone found James Haupt alone off a set piece for the first goal of the match in the 75th minute.
 
The Titans will host two games this weekend on Titans Field. UDM will welcome Buffalo on Friday, Sept. 20 at 1p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 22 against Canisius at 11 a.m. The matchup with Canisius will be the first game of a doubleheader with the women's soccer team.
