The Virginia men's soccer team had a weekend of ups and downs -- falling to No. 4 Saint Louis yesterday after beating Cincinnati Friday.
Virginia overcame Cincinnati 1-0 Friday night after having several offensive opportunities stopped by Bearcat goalie Mike Vessells.
While the Cavaliers outshot Cincinnati 11-6, their only goal came from a penalty kick by senior midfielder John Hartman. The win brought Virginia's record to 3-0 and was the team's third consecutive shutout.
Yesterday's 2-1 loss to the Billikens started off slowly, with neither team scoring for the first 40 minutes. St. Louis managed to break the monotony and score a pair of goals in the final five minutes of the first half.
Things looked to be turning up for the Cavaliers when senior defender Matt Oliver put one in the back of the net within two minutes of the start of the second half, but that was the last goal for Virginia, giving Saint Louis the win.
