Wolfpack Drops Narrow 1-0 Battle with JMU
9/13/2022 10:38:00 PM | Men's Soccer
RALEIGH – NC State men's soccer (2-2-1) dropped a hard-fought battle with visiting James Madison (2-3-0) as it fell 1-0 at Dail Soccer Stadium on Tuesday night.
Returning home for the first time in two weeks, the Wolfpack battled to the final minute and managed to generate some good scoring opportunities throughout the game. The squads both tallied 11 shots apiece, and the possession advantage went in favor of NC State, but the Dukes came away with the win courtesy of a 73rd minute score.
NC State and JMU went into the halftime break knotted at zero, and the Wolfpack held a 6-5 edge in shots after the opening period. Wolfpack goalkeeper Win Ellis, earning his second starting nod of the year, made a save early in the first half and a pair in the first five minutes of the second half to keep the game scoreless.
The Wolfpack nearly broke the deadlock with under 20 minutes remaining as Junior Nare (71') had a close-range shot deflected and Conor Kelly (72') had a strike on target stopped by JMU's keeper.
The Dukes, however, notched the game winner in the 73rd minute. After taking possession off an NC State throw in, Kevin Larsson drove his way from around midfield to the top of the box where he fed it to Cameron Arnold who slipped through the Pack's back line for the score.
NC State controlled possession the rest of the way but was unable to get on the board. In addition to Kelly's 72nd minute shot, Luke Hille got one of his four shots on frame in the 33rd minute, but that was also saved by JMU.
The Wolfpack takes on 10th-ranked Pitt on the road Friday night before returning to Raleigh for three-straight home matches. The contest is set for a 7 p.m. start on ACCNX.
