Game Recap: Men's Soccer |

Dragons Lose Stunner to Frederick CC 2-0

The Howard CC Men's Soccer team traveled to Frederick CC on Friday and were unable to make it count on the scoreboard as the Cougars won 2-0.

Despite controlling the majority of possession throughout the game, it was Frederick CC opening up the scoring on a headed ball from a corner kick.

The second half saw the Cougars once again scoring against the run of play, but this time added the intrigue of controversy. As Dragons defender Tyler Costopoulos (Olney, MD, Sherwood HS) was on the ball, Frederick CC forward Lorenzo Bolanos tugged him down from behind. Despite the numerous protests from HCC players and coaches, the referee did not call the foul and the Frederick player was able to beat the Dragons goalie 1v1 and double the Cougars lead.

The Dragons then put the Cougars on their heels for the next 40 minutes, but Frederick was content to park the bus and Howard CC was unable to break through the solid defending.

HCC was able to get a number of shots with six coming from defender Jonathan Horrocks (Clarksville, MD, Mt. Hebron HS) and another five from midfielder Neosystos Konstantinou (Cyprus, Ayios Antonios Lyceum), but only 4 of the Dragons 22 shots were on goal and none of them found the net.

The Dragons next get to enjoy a home stand starting with a game on Tuesday September 15th against conference rival Anne Arundel Community College; kick-off is scheduled for 4 PM.
