Box Score

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Jamin Gogo Peters scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season to tie the game late in the second half, but No. 22 Cornell took the lead back with just 17 seconds remaining as Brown men's soccer fell to the Big Red 2-1 Saturday evening at Stevenson-Pincince Field.

"Fair play to Cornell and their staff," Friends of Brown Men's Soccer Head Coaching Chair Chase Wileman said. "Super proud of our team. We're very happy with our guys that they were able to execute our game plan in a very short amount of time.

"There's two sides; super positive that we took that right to end, but also there are things that we need to continue to work on to continue to get this program headed in the right direction."

In a game that didn't see a shot on goal by either team for the first 72 minutes of action, all three goals were scored in the contest's final 18 minutes.

Cornell struck first in the 73^rd off a long cross into the box that was ping-ponged around by a few Big Red forwards and eventually made its way into the net.

The Bears, who had been pressuring the Cornell back line all throughout the second half, finally broke through off the foot of Gogo Peters. With less than three minutes remaining in the game, the freshman and Brady Van Epps connected on a smooth give-and-go down the right side of the field. Gogo Peters split a pair of defenders on his way into the 18-yard box and drilled a left-footed shot that beat the Cornell goalie low and to his right.

The game appeared destined to end in a draw, but Cornell had one last push and it ended up being enough. Another cross that made its way across the face of the Brown goal was tapped in by a Big Red forward to win the game.

"We'll use it as fuel," Wileman said. "We'll use it as a learning lesson for the rest of this season and also beyond that. In the end, we just have to move on and continue to grow."

The Bears' opportunity to move on will come quickly as they travel to Boston College this Tuesday, Oct. 11 for a 7 p.m. matchup.
