FREDONIA, N.Y. - The Allegheny men's soccer team fell to Fredonia by a score of 3-2 on Saturday (Sept. 21) in a nonconference showdown.

After a scoreless first half, sophomore Jacob LeSane (Meadville, Pa./Meadville) put the Gators on the board in the 53rd minute as he netted his first goal of the 2019 campaign. Classmate Alex Riel (Bethesda, Md./Landon) provided the setup pass for the assist.

Fredonia quickly tied the score and took a lead of its own as the Blue Devils scored two goals in thirty seconds during the 58th and 59th minutes. Fredonia then tallied what would become the game-winning goal in the 76th minute.

Allegheny made a late push as Evan Rumble (Youngstown, Ohio/Poland Seminary) notched the Gators second goal in the 83rd minute on another assist by Riel, but the comeback would fall short as the game ended 3-2.

Allegheny only took four shots, but they were effective with those tries. Besides the two goal scorers, Reil took one shot and Keegan Cassidy (Commack, N.Y./Commack) tallied the other.

Nick Ferreira (Chester, N.Y./Warwick Valley) was back in goal for the Gators and made five saves. Two of the saves were on penalty kicks in the first half.

Allegheny returns to the Robertson Athletic Complex on Wednesday (Sept. 25) when they host Geneva in a 7:30 p.m. nonconference match.
