Box Score Highlights

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Syracuse men's soccer (3-3-3, 0-1-2 ACC) was edged by Cornell (5-0-2, 0-0-0 IVY), 1-0, on Tuesday night at SU Soccer Stadium. The game was deadlocked at 0-0 through 85 minutes of play, before the Big Red found the back of the net to take a win back to Ithaca.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
Both teams created numerous chances through the first 85 minutes of a rain-filled contest in Syracuse, as the Big Red and the Orange were level at five shots on goal apiece.

As the clock started to creep close to the 90-minute mark, it was Cornell who found a way onto the score sheet, slipping a ball past Tomas Hut with under five minutes to go.

The Orange tacked on a shot in the 89^th minute to try and level the contest, but ultimately fell, 1-0.

OF NOTE:

Daniel Burko, who was named ACC Co-Offensive Player of the Week earlier today, earned a spot in the starting 11 for the second-consecutive match.
Ben Rosenblatt and Kristjan Fortier earned their third and second starts of the season, respectively.
Sam Layton went the distance for his ninth-straight game, as the graduate student has not been subbed off the pitch this campaign.
Hut matched a season-high five saves in the lost. He also stopped five shots on the road in Syracuse's tie at Boston College on Sept. 6.
Gabe Threadgold, who went the distance for the second time this campaign, led the offensive attack with three shots.

UP NEXT:
Syracuse continues its pair of home matches this week against Wake Forest on Friday, Sept. 27. The contest begins at 7 p.m. and will be live on ACC Network Extra. Admission and parking are free for all in attendance.
