DAYTON, OH — Over the course of the season, the St. Bonaventure men’s soccer team has shown it has what it takes to fight.
Its narrow 6-5 defeat to then-No.24 ranked George Mason stands as a testament to that. So, after conceding early to Dayton’s Ethan Sassine in its penultimate road game of the season, it came time to fight back once again.
Kyle Macfarlane and Avery Dreasky scored consecutive goals for the Bonnies, 10 minutes on either side of halftime, respectively to give the visitors a 2-1 lead. Unfortunately, a goal from Braden Seel knotted up the affair in favor of the Flyers.
Neither side were able to find the winner in the final half hour of the contest, so the points were split.
Felix Schöne made four saves for the Bonnies.
