The Virginia men’s soccer team dropped its second straight ACC game Saturday night, falling at Duke 1-0 in overtime on a penalty kick goal.
Though Virginia out-shot Duke (8-5-2, 3-2-2 ACC) 11-8 and edged the Blue Devils 6-4 in corner kicks, these advantages did not convert into goals. Freshman forward Brian Ownby, freshman defender Hunter Jumper and junior forward Matt Mitchell each had scoring opportunities in the first half, but each attempt was saved by Blue Devil senior goalkeeper Brendan Fitzgerald. Duke forward Mike Grella converted a penalty kick in the 97th minute for the only goal of the game after Virginia was whistled for a foul inside the box.
Virginia falls to 8-5-1 (4-2 ACC) with the loss and will return to action at home tomorrow night at 7 p.m. when it hosts American.
