ROCHESTER, Mich. - The No. 4 seeded Green Bay men's soccer team fell 0-2 to No. 1 seeded Oakland on Thursday afternoon in the Horizon League semifinal round. GB finishes the 2024 campaign with an 11-7-2 record, recording the most wins 2011. The program also tallied consecutive double-digit winning seasons for the first time since 2010-11.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Chris Album notched the first shot of the game, forcing an early save by Golden Grizzlies goalkeeper Alex Flowers. Oakland got on the board not long after Flowers' goal kick, jumping out to a 1-0 lead on Malik Sylvester's score off in the third minute off an assist from Carson Ballagh. Green Bay had plenty of chances in the first half, blitzing Oakland by racking up seven shots within 15 minutes. Oakland denied each chance and ended up leading 1-0 at the break, despite GB outshooting the Golden Grizzlies 13-8 in the frame.

The pressure by the Green and White continued out of the locker room, recording five shots before Oakland had any. Oakland's first shot of the stanza was a big one, as Andrew Darakdjian went on a fastbreak down the seam and cashed in, making it 2-0 Oakland in the 59th minute. Green Bay peppered 26 shots in the game, well over the previous team season high of 19, but it wasn't enough in a season-ending 0-2 loss.

GAME NOTES

• Green Bay had 17 corner kicks to Oakland's four.
• So Nishikawa led all players with six shots.
