Men’s Soccer Falls to Mountaineers in Sun Belt Semifinals

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Four-seeded Kentucky men’s soccer (6-6-6, 5-3-3 Sun Belt) fell in the semifinal round of the Sun Belt Tournament Conference to one-seeded and No. 10-ranked West Virginia (12-1-6, 6-0-4 Sun Belt), 2-1, in Morgantown, W.Va.

Logan Dorsey did not waste any time getting the Cats on the scoreboard with an unassisted right-footed goal in the second minute of the match. However, the Mountaineers answered quickly in the 5’ equalizing the contest, 1-1. Sergio Ors Navarro scored the first WVU goal from a corner kick, assisted by Felix Ewald and Frederik Jorgensen.

With the first half of time expired, the score remained 1-1. The Mountaineers notched their second goal of the match in the 54’ once against from a corner set piece. Carlos Hernando recorded the score with an assist from Jorgensen to give WVU the 2-1 advantage. The score did not change for the remainder of the match advancing the Mountaineers to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship match.

West Virginia will face the winner of two-seeded Marshall and six-seeded James Madison on Sunday for the tournament title.
