MSU Men’s Soccer team could not capitalize on their strong chances in an even tilt with the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles and ended the game in a tie.
Spartan GK Hunter Morse put on a show-stopping performance. Both teams were even heading into the half. Then, Morse was on full display with three saves right after halftime. Hunter also batted away a freekick at the 71-minute mark. Jack Beck’s foul rewarded the Eagles offense with a penalty kick. Florida Gulf Coast Forward Ivan Rosales delivered. However, Eagles GK Gustavo Vasconcelos committed a foul with only 57 seconds left on the clock. Michigan State’s Alex Shterenberg stepped up with a crunch time goal.
Locked at 1-1, Michigan State and Florida Gulf Coast went to overtime to no avail. Gianna Ferri could not score on his two shots on goal. Still even, both times went into double-overtime. Neither capitalized on scoring chances and the game ended with a draw. This gives the Spartans their second draw, now 0-0-2 on the season.
