Green Bay Downs Cleveland State in High-Scoring Affair, Will Host Oakland in Horizon League Quarterfinal

CLEVELAND, Ohio. – The Green Bay men's soccer team won its fourth consecutive Horizon League match in dramatic fashion over Cleveland State, 3-2. The Phoenix and Vikings combined for five second-half goals, culminating in Luke Nicholson's 82nd-minute game-winning goal.
 
The win concludes the regular season for the Phoenix, as they'll enter the Horizon League Championships as the No. 3 seed and will host No. 6 Oakland at Aldo Santaga Stadium on Sunday, November 9, at 1 p.m. CT. CSU clinched the regular season title and No. 1 seed today as well.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Green Bay goalkeeper Drew Swancutt collected a save on the only shot on goal by either team in the first half, stopping an attempt from CSU's Uzman Ramees in the 24th minute.
 
Noah Lechelt broke the scoreless tie with a goal in the 60th minute. Kamden Held and Dennis Nyame each recorded an assist on Lechelt's goal. CSU then tied the match at one in the 79th minute with a goal from Tom Mertz. Djordje Petrovic assisted Mertz's game-tying goal. Not even two minutes later, Keegan Walker assisted Chris Album's fourth goal of the season in the 81st minute to give Green Bay a 2-1 lead.
 
The Vikings immediately tied the match again with a goal from Matteo Correia in the 82nd minute, assisted by Petrovic. Finally, Green Bay capped off the quick succession of goals, also in the 82nd minute. Nicholson scored the game-winning goal right off the Phoenix kickoff thanks to another Walker assist.

  • Three goals are the most Green Bay has scored in a game this season
  • The Phoenix outshot CSU 11-8 and 8-3 on goal.
