After opening scoring in the 29th minute with freshman Justin Donawa’s second goal of the season, the Dartmouth Men’s Soccer team ultimately fell to No. 6 Syracuse, 2-1, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at the SU Soccer Stadium.
The Dartmouth Men’s Soccer team saw their season come to an end with a record of 12-6-1, while Syracuse improved to 13-5-3 and will play the winner of the No. 11 Seattle/UCLA matchup in the third round next weekend.
Dartmouth’s third shot of the game turned out to be the first goal of the day. At 29:12, Donawa received a cross from sophomore Matt Danilack and fired to the left of goalkeeper Robbie Landeros – who did not appear to see the shot coming – to give Dartmouth a one-goal advantage with just over 15 minutes left in the first.
