Albany, N.Y. – The UMBC men's soccer team lost 2-0 to the UAlbany Great Danes in an America East Conference match on Friday evening at the chilly Bob Ford Field at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium.

UAlbany (4-5-3, 2-1-1 AE) scored the decisive goal in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a turnover by the Retrievers.

Midfielder Jordan Schullenberger initiated the play by stealing the ball at the 35-yard line. He quickly sent a pass along the left wing to junior teammate Ivar Orri Gissurarson. Schullenberger made a run towards the top of the box and found himself unmarked when Gissurarson played the ball to him in striking territory. Schullenberger took a touch and fired a low shot into the right corner of the net, beating UMBC senior goalkeeper Emigdio Tormo Lopez from 15 yards out. Tormo Lopez, positioned near the near post, appeared to be screened by one of his own defenders.

In the 51st minute, UAlbany added an insurance goal following a throw-in deep in UMBC's territory. A high throw into the top of the box was inadvertently headed by a Retrievers' defender to Great Danes forward Andre Navas, who was unguarded on the right side of the box. Navas collected the ball and beat Tormo Lopez with a low shot into the left corner from seven yards out.

The Retrievers (4-6-2, 0-3-1 AE) struggled to create any quality scoring chances, being outshot 9-6 in the match. Tormo Lopez made two saves, while UAlbany goalkeeper Andrej Krivokapic turned aside three shots.

UMBC will next travel to George Washington on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m.
