Leos Fall To Poets In Overtime
The Leopards traveled to Whittier to take on the Poets in an
attempt to snap a 5-game losing streak, but came up empty in a 2-1
final despite pushing the game into overtime.
The play was even in the first half, as the Leopards took five
shots to the Poets four. Both teams relied on physical play,
recording 20 fouls in the first period. But neither team would get
on the board, and the teams would remain scoreless heading into
halftime.
Five minutes into the second half, Aldolfo Santos found Srdan
Jovanovic to put Whittier on the board. As time was winding down,
junior Taylor Hart tied the game in the last minute off of an
assist from Bryan Mejia. The goal would send the game into
overtime, where Jovanovic would score his second goal of the game,
giving the Poets a 2-1 victory.
The Leopards will take a break from SCIAC action and head to
Riverside to take on La Sierra Monday night. The match will begin
at 7:00pm.
