WASHINGTON – Howard men's soccer returned home to Greene Stadium for a midweek matchup against Le Moyne but came up short in a 2-0 decision. The loss drops the Bison to 1-8-1, while the Dolphins rise to 2-7.
Le Moyne opened the scoring in the 19th minute when they turned a well-placed pass into a goal in the lower left corner. Building on their momentum, the Dolphins doubled their lead near the 31st minute, converting a penalty kick following a foul in the box. Despite the early setbacks, Howard regrouped defensively and held Le Moyne scoreless for the remaining hour of play.
In goal, Ireal Wyze‑Daly (Ontario, Canada) turned in a solid performance, finishing the night with six saves. His steady presence kept the match from slipping further out of reach, particularly in the second half when Le Moyne pushed to extend their lead.
On the offensive end, the Bison created chances but couldn't capitalize.
Zach Simmons (Rockwall, Texas) led Howard in shot attempts, putting two of his three total shots on frame.
Naim Robinson (Detroit) also took three shots as part of a second-half push to generate momentum. As a result, Howard ended the night with 10 shots total, four on target, showing moments of offensive intent despite the scoreline.
Next up, the Bison hit the road for a nonconference clash at Mercyhurst on Sunday (Oct. 5). Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. in Erie, Pennsylvania.
