Last Time Out
Middle Tennessee Soccer welcomed the ETSU Buccaneers to Dean A. Hayes Track & Soccer Stadium on Friday night, dropping a heartbreaking 2-1 result.
The opening parts of the contest were a back-and-forth battle between the Blue Raiders and the Buccaneers. ETSU broke the stalemate in the 43rd minute off a throw in that the Buccaaneers' Kyra Ranvek headed in to take the 1-0 advantage headed into the halftime break.
The Buccaneers added to their lead in the 65th minute as ETSU's Ranvek tallied her second score of the contest to put ETSU up by two, 2-0.
The Blue Raiders found a spark in the 79th minute as Peyton DePriest drew an ETSU foul in the penalty box to set up a PK, which she would eventually net off her left foot to cut the Blue Raiders deficit to one, 2-1.
A pair of Middle Tennessee opportunities unfortunately came up fruitless over the final 10 minutes of play before the horn sounded to close out the 2-1 Blue Raider defeat.
