Box Score
Bronx, NY – (August 28, 2022) – As new students moved into the Rose Hill campus, they were treated to an excellent effort from the Fordham men’s soccer team, who opened their home schedule with a 0-0 draw against the 16th-ranked Providence Friars at Jack Coffey Field on Sunday.
Providence had a pair of prime chances in the first half. In the 16th minute, Brendan McSorley rocketed a shot from distance that Fordham’s Demetri Skoumbakis got his right hand on to keep it out of the net. Then in the 25thth minute, McSorely then made a run and cut to the top of the box for a shot that Skoumbakis was able to smother.
At the other end, Providence’s Lukas Burns was also up to the task, picking off a set piece shot by Ben Shepherd in the 32n.d minute to the upper right corner.
The two offenses continued to be stymied in the second half with the best chance coming from Fordham’s Florian Deletioglu in the 73rd minute, as Burns came out of his net to make a save, right at the corner of the six-yard box with the rebound being cleared away.
Deletioglu had another chance in the 89thth following a yellow card to Providence, but Burns was able to knock that opportunity to keep the match a scoreless draw.
Burns ended the match with five saves with Skoumbakis recording four as each picked up their first clean sheet of the season.
Fordham will next be in action on Friday, September 2n.d for a 4:00 PM match at LIU.
