FLUSHING, N.Y. – Taking a mid-week break from conference action, the University of Bridgeport's men's soccer team was defeated 1-0 at Queens College on Wednesday night. The tight loss puts the Purple Knights' overall record at 3-4-3 this season (3-0-1, CACC).
After a scoreless first half, the hosts broke through in the 73rd minute on a corner-kick goal that saw Bradyn Brown head in a delivery from Miguel Soto Gonzalez.
Despite the loss, UB goalkeeper Magnus Midtlien put together a strong effort in net. The native of Norway registered six saves in the first half to keep the Purple Knights within striking distance.
Bridgeport nearly found the equalizer late, generating nine second-half shots and forcing five saves from Queens keeper Thanasis Shehadeh.
Freshman Kristians Prieditis led the offensive push with five shots, three of them on goal, while Samuel Dundas, Loik Poder, Cem Celik, and Ata Akgun also tested the Knights' goalie.
