Ming Sets Up Late Leveler as Syracuse hold 10-man Pittsburgh
|
Substitute Pedro Gulli struck 12 minutes from time following sharp interplay involving Bermudian midfielder Sachiel Ming as Syracuse fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against tenth-ranked Pittsburgh at SU Soccer Stadium.
The Orange were forced to chase the game early after Pitt made a flying start, breaking the deadlock in the 13th minute to put the hosts on the back foot.
Syracuse responded with persistent attacking pressure, and the complexion of the contest shifted dramatically four minutes before the interval. Pittsburgh were reduced to 10 men in the 41st minute when Logan Oliver received a second yellow card, handing the hosts a crucial numerical advantage.
From that moment on, Syracuse dominated proceedings. They outshot the visitors 21 to eight and held a six to three edge in corner kicks, with all six corners won during a relentless second-half siege.
The decisive moment arrived after Syracuse head coach turned to his bench, introducing Gulli in the 71st minute. Just seven minutes later, the Brazilian forward delivered.
Ming combined neatly with Chimere Omeze to slice open the Panthers' back line, teeing up Gulli to slot home his fourth goal of the campaign and restore parity.
Pittsburgh mounted a spirited late counter-attack despite their player deficit, but Syracuse goalkeeper Juan Martinez-Bastidas produced three vital saves in the final 10 minutes—finishing with four stops on the night—to secure a well-earned point against top-10 opposition.

Bermudian contingent features as Huskies rout Mounties
|
Bermudian trio Sami Carolo, Kydan Browne, and Isai Gibbons played their part as Saint Mary’s University produced an explosive second-half display to overpower the Mount Allison Mounties 5-1 at Huskies Stadium.
The afternoon belonged to forward Amare Valente-Boateng, who delivered an individual masterclass with a devastating four-goal haul, while Carolo set up one of the strikes to ignite a dominant second-half fightback.
The Mounties had threatened an upset early on, breaking the deadlock against the run of play in the 19th minute. Forward Alejandro Wohlgemuth Rohan was released down the left flank before drilling a crisp, low drive inside the far post to hand the visitors an unexpected 1-0 advantage.
Saint Mary’s responded with intent and created several quality openings before the break. Mounties goalkeeper Adam Shooshan pulled off a fine stop to deny Jalen Loague, before Valente-Boateng saw a venomous effort rattle back off the crossbar.
However, those first-half warning shots paved the way for an onslaught after the restart.
The breakthrough arrived in the 58th minute when Jake Wilcox unlocked the Mounties defence with a searching ball forward. Valente-Boateng gathered on the breakaway and slotted a pinpoint finish past the diving Shooshan to level the contest at 1-1.
Just five minutes later, the first-year striker put the Huskies ahead. Hauled down inside the box by a recovering defender, Valente-Boateng dusted himself off and dispatched the resulting penalty into the bottom-right corner.
The forward completed a rapid nine-minute hat-trick in the 67th minute, combining with Bermudian midfielder Carolo, who slipped through a neat pass for Valente-Boateng to beat Shooshan low once again for a 3-1 lead.
Mount Allison had an opportunity to reduce the deficit in the 71st minute, but Huskies goalkeeper Daniel Covelli charged off his line to make a vital block from Luke Paterson’s breakaway strike, maintaining the two-goal cushion.
Valente-Boateng then claimed his fourth of the match in the 78th minute. Lachlan Sylvester pumped a free-kick into Will Brown, whose clever no-look lay-off was swept home by Valente-Boateng to move him into a tie atop the Atlantic University Sport scoring charts with six goals on the season.
Loague added the exclamation mark on the stroke of the 90th minute. Following a defensive clearance from Justin Chiasson, Loague beat his marker to the loose ball, broke clear on goal, and deftly chipped the advancing goalkeeper to seal an emphatic five-star victory.

Watson and West Virginia State Undone by Last-Gasp Winner
|
Bermudian international Danni Watson and her West Virginia State University team suffered late heartbreak on Wednesday night, conceding in the final minute to fall 2-1 against Point Park University in Mountain East Conference action.
The result drops the Yellow Jackets to 3-3-4 overall and 3-2-3 in conference play, while the Pioneers improved their standing to 6-3-1 on the season with an impressive 6-1-1 league record.
Chances were at a premium during a cagey opening half-hour, with an early Sara Paris Filter effort and two Point Park corners the only highlights. The contest sparked to life in the 32nd minute when Sharon Freire Omonigho saw her shot blocked, before Watson turned provider just moments later.
In the 34th minute, Watson picked out Maria Alejandra Hernandez Diaz inside the attacking third, with the forward converting smartly to put the visitors 1-0 ahead. Jazz Cedillo forced a stop in the 43rd minute as WVSU pushed for a second, while Madison Fortin fired high just before the interval.
The Yellow Jackets maintained momentum straight after the restart, forcing a 48th-minute stop off a set piece to claim back-to-back corners. Fortin then sent another attempt wide as the visitors pressed to double their advantage, but Point Park weathered the surge and began applying sustained pressure of their own with a sequence of corners and blocked strikes.
The hosts finally breached the WVSU rearguard in the 67th minute to level at 1-1, immediately testing the Yellow Jackets’ keeper again 60 seconds later.
Both sides traded chances in an open final 20 minutes, but it was the Pioneers who delivered the decisive blow, snatching all three points with an unassisted winner in the 90th minute.
