Syracuse University’s men’s soccer team traveled to its own SU Soccer Stadium on a Saturday afternoon, facing off against the University of New Hampshire in a match that promised intensity from the outset.
The Orange were forced onto the back foot early when a red card in the 10th minute left them a man down, yet a disciplined defensive effort kept the score level at 0‑0 heading into the break.
New Hampshire broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute, striking first with a 1‑0 lead that seemed to tilt the balance in their favor.
The Orange answered swiftly, with Kristjan Fortier converting a penalty in the 70th minute and Jordan Grey adding a second just two minutes later, the latter finishing off a feed from Dario White and Kameron Kist to level the contest at 2‑2.
The drama deepened in the 80th minute when New Hampshire’s Laurin Preuss found the net, securing a 3‑2 victory that left the home crowd both disappointed and hopeful for the remainder of the season.
Looking Ahead to the Next Home Fixture
Syracuse will return to SU Soccer Stadium on Friday, August 30, for a showdown against Loyola, with free admission for all regular‑season home matches, offering fans another chance to rally behind the Orange.
