Men's Soccer: York survives close game with 3-2 win over Spires

YORK, Neb. – The York University men's soccer team recorded a 3-2 win over Saint Mary with late goal by Joao Vitor Tavares.

The Panthers are now 10-3-1 on the season, including a 7-1-1 record in KCAC action.

York jumped on the board at the 7:49 mark when Tim Schafer found the back of the net for a 1-0 advantage.

The visitors managed to knot the score 11 minutes later, but the Panthers gained a 2-1 advantage in the 31st minute when Hulme bent in his corner kick into the back of the net around the keeper.

Seventy-eight seconds into the second half, York was whistled for a foul in the box, resulting in a penalty kick. USM converted the attempt, tying the match at 2-2.

The Panthers' offense turned to a free kick from Tavares at the 52:39 mark with his when his shot bent around the wall to get the goal, pushing York to a one-goal lead once again.

That was more than enough for York as the defense stood tall the remainder of the match. The home team did not allow a shot on goal after the offense provided what turned out to be the match-winning goal.

For the match, Jamie Watt had a pair of saves while playing all 90 minutes between the pipes. Sergio Bueno led the Panthers with two shots on goal.

The Panthers return to action Wednesday when they play at McPherson College at 7 p.m. Live stats and video will be available at Yorkpanthers.com.
