After an Owls score to pull ahead 2-0 in the 67th minute, UC answered right back when junior defender Peyton Mowery (Troy, Ohio/Troy) played a ball into sophomore Daniel Oginni (Mississauga, Ontario/King's Christian Collegiate) who, while on the attack, drew a foul in the box. David Sanz (Santander, Spain/IE La Marina) then took the PK and scored for UC's first conversion of the season to reduce the Bearcats' deficit to 2-1 in the 68th minute. Despite opportunities late to tie the match, the Red & Black fell just short in full time, 2-1.
