Raleigh, N.C. - The NC State men's soccer team will face Virginia Tech in the first round of the ACC Tournament this Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. This years tournament will be held at the Maryland Soccerplex in Germantown, Md. The Wolfpack (5-9-1) and the Hokies (11-6-1) will be meeting for the second time this season, as the first contest was one of the more entertaining games of the ACC season.
The Hokies jumped on the scoreboard first in the 16th minute. Charles Champbell took a corner kick, and the ball bounced around in the box until Brent Dillie struck it in the net at the 15:38 mark.
NC State would then respond with two goals in a two minute span. The scoring starting when Virginia Tech’s Dillie was issued a red card for a tackle from behind and the Pack was rewarded a free kick from just outside the 18-yard box. Senior Rami Ghanayem slid the ball over to junior El Hadj Cisse who slotted the ball home at the 26:06 mark.
Less than two minutes later the Pack would strike again and take the lead. Freshman Jorge Mora found classmate Alan Sanchez in the top of the penalty box. Sanchez struck the ball to the far post for his team leading sixth goal of the season at 28:03.
The Pack went into the half with a 2-1 lead, but Virginia Tech would notch the only two scores of the second half for the road win. Marcus Reed struck first in the 55th minute off of a feed from Ben Nason to tie the score. Then it was Nason himself in the 73rd minute scoring the game winner.
