Green Bay Drops Match Against UIC

Jeloni Murray-Powell scores first career goal

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Green Bay men's soccer tallied two second-half goals but it wasn't enough in a 2-4 loss to UIC Sunday night.

The Phoenix (0-2) fell behind early before taking the lead in the second half. UIC (1-1) answered with three unanswered goals in the final 16:11 to get their first victory of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Green Bay couldn't get much going in the opening 45 minutes, totaling just two shots. UIC tallied the first score of the game in the 12th minute on a goal by Bart Munns. So Nishikawa sent one wide left in the 21st minute for GB, which was the first shot of the game for the Phoenix. Chris Album just missed the bottom left of the goal in the 38th minute, and the Phoenix went into halftime facing a 0-1 deficit.

The second half featured a wild turn of events, first when Andrew Paolucci buried a goal in the 50th minute off an assist from Jeloni Murray-Powell and Myles Sophanavong. It only took another 10 minutes for Green Bay to take the lead on an unassisted goal by Murray-Powell, the first of his career. In the 74th minute, UIC had a corner kick and eventually tied the game on an own goal by GB, making it 2-2. Moments later, Bart Muns found the back of the net to give the lead back to UIC with just over 11 minutes to go. The Flames put the game away for good in the 84th minute on a goal by Joshua Torres, and Green Bay came up short in a 2-4 loss.

GAME NOTES

  • Album was given a red card in the 86th minute.
  • Paolucci and Album led the Phoenix with two shots apiece. Six Phoenix totaled eight shots.
  • UIC outshot GB 16-8 overall, but just 7-6 on goal.
  • The Green and White had nine corner kicks, compared to just two for UIC.

COMING UP
Green Bay will make the trip back from Chicago and look forward to its home opener on Thursday against Southern Indiana. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 PM.
