Thrilling Road Victory for Drexel Men's Soccer
The Dragons traveled to Corapolis, Pennsylvania, where they faced the Robert Morris Colonials in a tightly contested match that would swing back and forth until the final whistle.
Robert Morris drew first blood with a penalty kick in the 32nd minute, but Drexel answered before halftime, leveling the score with a flurry of corner kicks that pressured the Colonials' defense.
The second half saw Drexel tighten up defensively, allowing only a single shot while generating five of their own, a testament to the team's resilience and tactical adjustments.
Victor Moreck opened the scoring for the Dragons, and the decisive moment arrived in the 87th minute when Brian Salvino struck the winning goal, capping a well-timed move set up by Raphael Bartell's assist.
Bartell also made a crucial save earlier in the game, preserving the lead and giving his side the breathing room needed to see out the match.
Statistically, Drexel outshot the Colonials 12-4 and dominated set-piece opportunities, earning 13 corners to just four for their opponents.
Looking Ahead to Erie
The Dragons will now head to Erie, Pennsylvania, for a Sunday showdown against Mercyhurst at 3 p.m., aiming to carry the momentum from their road win into the next contest.
