ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A late second half goal spoiled the Roberts Wesleyan men's soccer team's comeback attempt against Seton Hill on Saturday afternoon, as the Redhawks lost 3-2.
Â
After being down 2-1 late into the second half freshman midfielder
Marko Mitrevski knotted the score up at 2-2 in the 81
st minute with a laser shot from 18 yards out into the top left corner of the net. It was Mitrevski's first career collegiate goal. The assist came from senior
Scott Carson.
Â
The tie score didn't last long though as the Griffins tucked away the game winner just three minutes later in the 84
th minute. The goal was credited to Tom Urquhart when his pass across the goal line was deflected in by a Roberts' defender. It was Urquhart's second goal of the game. His first came in the 76

The Redhawks were again playing from behind for the majority of the game. Seton Hill got on the board first when they converted on a penalty kick off a controversial foul call in the Roberts' defensive box.
Â
Senior defender
Sam Moody was the other goal scorer for the Redhawks. His goal in the 33
rd minute was assisted on by both Mitrevksi and
John Stewart. Mitrevksi's corner was deflected from Stewart on to Moody who beat the keeper just under the crossbar.
