Late Goal Ends Maverick Season with 2-1 Loss at St
Nov 5, 2011 | Men's Soccer
Final Stats
DeLand, Fla. - The UNO men's soccer team held the lead in the second half at Stetson, but a Hatter goal with four minutes left handed the Mavericks a 2-1 defeat in their final game of the 2011 season on Saturday night.
UNO finished the season 1-11-1. Stetson heads into the Atlantic Sun conference tournament this week with a 10-5-3 record.
For the second straight night, the Mavericks went into halftime on even terms. But this time, it was the Mavericks who broke the deadlock just after the hour mark.
Forward Craig Buettner put the ball into the net at the 60:41 mark on a rebound off his own shot to give UNO the lead. It was the first career goal for Buettner, who joined the Maverick squad as a walk-on in October.
But the Hatters responded quickly with Jonathan Mendoza evening the score at 1-1 at the 62:34 mark. It was the team-leading 11th goal for Mendoza.
It looked as if the Mavs might earn a draw with the Atlantic Sun runners-up, but Stetson's Gonzalo De Mujica scored his fifth goal of the season in the 86th minute to give the Hatters the 2-1 lead.
The Mavs applied pressure late, though, with Buettner shooting wide in the 87th minute. Then at 87:35, Mo Salama took the final shot of the game for UNO, but it was saved by Dan Billman.
UNO outshot Stetson 16-15 overall. The Hatters put seven on frame, while the Mavs had five shots on goal.
Josh Christensen made five saves for the Mavericks. Buettner finished with a season-high seven shots. Vance Rookwood had three shots, two of which forced saves from Billman.
Saturday's game ended the season for UNO. The Mavs will begin a full Summit League schedule next year.
