Panthers Drop Heatbreaker at Towson, 2-1

Towson, Md. (November 1, 2009) Georgia State men's soccer team (4-9-1, 2-8 CAA) gave up a goal with less than a minute remaining to loss a heartbreaker at Towson (7-9, 4-6 CAA), 2-1, Sunday afternoon.

Georgia State had tied the match in the first half when freshman Moosah Dowlatabadi made a cross inside the box as senior Stephan Minyono one-timed it into the back of the net to even the score at 1-1.

The Panthers were hurt by a couple of breakaways in the match especially in the 89th minute when Roslin Nzokou made a pass to Liam Maloney who beat the Georgia State keeper Vincent Foermer to win the match for Towson. Maloney had the one-on-one and scored his ninth goal of the season.

"It was tough to be down so quickly in the match, it was nice to see Stephan (Minyono) score in a CAA match tying the score 1-1 before halftime, said Kerem Daser." 

Foermer finished the match with seven saves to increase his 2009 season total to 70 saves.

Senior Stephan Minyono scored his second goal of the season finishing the match with three shots including two on net.

"The second half was back-and-forth, Vincent (Foermer) made a lot of nice saves to keep the game even. "It was a solid performance but we just didn't come out on top, we gave a great effort and look forward to our final match, added Daser."

In the first half of play the Panthers were down early when 30 seconds into the match Towson found the back of the net off a breakaway to make the score 1-0. Appel-Schumacher scored his third goal of the season with assists to Liam Maloney and Marco Mangione.

Georgia State did even the score by half time but could not overcome missed opportunities in the match falling late. The Panthers will hope to win its final conference game against Delaware.

Georgia State will finished its conference season on the road against Delaware Tuesday Nov. 3 at 3 p.m.
