The Lipscomb men’s soccer team suffered a 3-0 loss to North Florida in Atlantic Sun Conference play on Saturday night at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
More than 100 spectators came to watch the much anticipated match between the Bisons and the North Florida Ospreys.
Both teams struggled to find rhythm in an intense first half with neither being able to score on the rain-soaked field.
North Florida broke the silence in the second half with a goal from No. 5 sophomore Joshua Castellanos assisted by No. 9 senior Alex Morell. No. 2 sophomore Aiden D’Mello kicked the finishing goal, assisted by Morell.
“I don’t think the score is indicative of how close the game actually was; we let it get away from us there at the end,” head coach Charles Morrow said, according to Lipscomb Athletics. “I don’t think we did a good job of preparing for them from a coaching perspective and I don’t think our guys played very well. It was just a bad combination. North Florida is definitely a team that I would welcome to play again in the tournament.”
Up next the Bisons will play Jacksonville at 7 p.m. Tuesday at home.
