SOUTH BEND, Ind. – NC State men's soccer's (7-8-2) 2021 season came to an end on Wednesday night with a 1-0 loss to Notre Dame (10-5-2) at Alumni Stadium in the first round of the ACC Tournament.
It was a tightly contested matchup, as each team placed three shots on frame, but a penalty kick goal was the deciding factor.
The first half was dead even, as each team was limited to three shots each in a scoreless 45 minutes. Luke Hille was responsible for the only shot on frame in the half, as his strike from just above the box bounced right into the hands of Notre Dame goalkeeper Bryan Dowd.
In the 53rd minute, Dawson McCartney put the Irish on the board with a converted penalty kick.
NC State was knocking on the door to find the equalizer shortly after the goal with a pair of quality shots by Henrique Santos and Hille, but both were saved by Dowd.
Leon Krapf made a pair of crucial stops in the 75th minute when Notre Dame's Mohamed Omar took back-to-back shots from close range, keeping the contest decided by just one goal down the stretch.
