The #11 Fairfield University men's soccer team created chances throughout the match against #1 Manhattan (5-0-0)(5-4-2) on Wednesday night but the Stags were only able to finish one of those opportunities resulting in a 2-1 setback to the Jaspers.
Fairfield held a 15-8 advantage in shots throughout the 90 minutes, including doubling up the Jaspers in the second half by a 7-3 count. Nearly half of Fairfield's attempts came at the feet as well as the head of Thomas Drillien, who was responsible for seven shots with four being on target. fairfieldstags.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/thomas-drillien/6374
"Thomas' goal gave us a real lift," Head Coach Carl Rees said. "All week we worked on penetration from wide areas and set up systems where we have numbers up situations which transpired today. I think we were able to get more quality balls from wide areas."
