Men’s Soccer Comeback Halted by Bridgeport on Senior Day

PHILADELPHIA – The HFU men's soccer team cut a 2-0 deficit in half with 28 minutes remaining, but the Tigers could not find an equalizer in a 3-1 loss to Bridgeport on Saturday afternoon at Tiger Field. 
 
Prior to the match, Holy Family honored the senior class of Tyler Shoemaker (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan), Tyler Myers (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge), Eric Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic), Michael Forde (Cambridge, United Kingdom/(Harcum College)), Dakota Taylor (Willow Grove, Pa./Archbishop Wood) and Sean Touey (Rockledge, Pa./Abington). 
 
The Purple Knights opened the scoring with a penalty in the 30th minute before making it 2-0 just 2:30 ahead of halftime. 
 
Touey's back post valley pulled one back on Taylor's corner kick in the 63rd, but Bridgeport closed the scoring 14 and a half minutes later. 
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Touey's eight goals lead HFU, rank third in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) and are a new career-high
  • Taylor's assist was his team-leading seventh, now fifth in the league
  • Tylor was the lone student-athlete with two shots on net 
  • Holy Family held a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks
  • Both teams had six attempts on goal
  • Luke Shank (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks West) made three saves in net

  • The Tigers' first attempt, by Gavin Rowan (Levittown, Pa./Neshaminy), missed high in the 14th minute
  • Lautaro Berisso (La Plata, Argentina/(Camden County CC)) shot high just over two minutes after Bridgeport's penalty
  • The Purple Knights had the final five attempts of the first half, with Shank keeping the score at 1-0 in the 37th minute
Second Half

  • He was also denied just prior to the corner that led to Touey's goal
  • Marcelo Ibarra (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) saw his header saved in the 80th minute
  • Taylor headed high in the 84th minute, and an ensuing corner led to an Ibarra shot that missed wide
  • The Purple Knights' only other attempt on net in the half came with five minutes left
  • Will Stackhouse (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) kept up HFU's late pressure with a shot on goal 27 seconds later, before Joel Richmond (Bridgetown, Barbados/Church Farm) was denied with the final shot of the afternoon 2:27 ahead of the final whistle
