Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. – Lynn University's sixth-ranked men's soccer team was unable to rally at Nova Southeastern on Wednesday evening, falling 4-1 to the Sharks. Michael O'Neill tallied the lone goal for the Fighting Knights, who drop their first match of the season and move to 2-1-1 overall.

Despite controlling the pace of play in the opening half, and out shooting the Sharks (3-1-0) 10-4, the Blue & White were not able to capitalize on dangerous opportunities.  Nova Southeastern, though, found the back of the net in the last five minutes when Austin Foor scored on a set piece.

The Sharks came out ready to play in the second half scoring two early goals setting them ahead 3-0.  The Fighting Knights were able to cut the deficit by one when Javier Mochon sent a ball across the six-yard box where he found the head of O'Neill in the 79 minute. 

A couple a missed opportunities and a solid effort by the Shark defensive kept the Fighting Knights off the scoreboard for the rest of the match.  Nova Southeastern was  able to capitalize again with less than three minutes  to play to secure the 4-1 victory.

The Fighting Knights will be back in action on Saturday, September 21, at 3:30 p.m. when they host Florida Southern.  Fans can catch the action live at LynnFightingKnights.com.  Don't forget to 'Like' us on Facebook and follow @LUKnights on Twitter, Instagram and Vine.
