GOSHEN, Ind. — Carter Levesque turned in a standout performance in goal, including a penalty-kick save in the 79th minute, but IU Northwest men's soccer could not overcome a heavy shot disadvantage Wednesday, falling 2-0 on the road to Goshen College.
Goshen dominated the shot column all night, finishing with 22 attempts to IU Northwest's five, but the Redhawks held firm behind Levesque and a scoreless first half. The deadlock finally broke in the 51st minute when Pedro Diegues pounced on a rebound off the keeper to put the home side ahead, 1-0.
Levesque kept the Redhawks within striking distance from there, and the goalkeeper's best moment came in the 79th minute, stopping a Martim Alves penalty kick to preserve a one-goal deficit. But Goshen doubled its lead less than 10 minutes later, when Kyle Phillip buried a rebound off the far post in the 69th minute off a David Hidalgo Muniain assist to make it 2-0.
IU Northwest's offense had its moments despite being limited in volume, with Eric Lopez and Christian Sanclemente Roa each getting looks on frame, including a header from Sanclemente Roa that Goshen keeper Matias Labbe turned away late in the match. Levesque finished with five saves on the night, doing the heavy lifting to keep the score respectable against a Goshen attack that pressed for the majority of the match.
IU Northwest hits the road again Saturday, Sept. 19, to face Grace Christian University in Grand Rapids, Mich. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. CDT.
