The Seton Hall men’s soccer team lined up on the pitch Sunday afternoon against Bucknell, only to come away with a 4-0 defeat.
The Pirates were desperate for a win, as they are coming off two straight home losses. The game started quickly for the Pirates on Sunday, and they found themselves trailing after a three-minute header from Bison midfielder Sebastiaan Blickman.
Things then escalated quickly as senior midfield Chris Thorsheim made it 2-0 after only 14 minutes. As the 20-minute mark hit, the Pirates offense finally settled into the game as midfielder Andres Arcila started to get a hold of the ball and create chances for his team. However, the Bison scored two more goals in a 10-minute span to bring the lead to 4-0.
Halftime adjustments were made by the Pirates as they started the second half aggressively firing shots on goal. They landed eight on-target, but none of them managed to sneak in. The 4-0 score held as the Pirates dropped to 0-4-1 on the season.
A positive, though, was the fact that this was the first contest this season that SHU out-shot an opponent. Seton Hall led the Bison 20-12. Today was also the debut of junior goalkeeper Brandon Barnes, who recorded three saves.
The Pirates now turn to a long nine-day break in regular season action. Their next match will be the always thrilling Alumni Match at Owen T. Carroll Field on Sept. 18.
