STOCKTON, Calif.- The Pacific men's soccer team (4-8-1, 1-2-0) fell to Loyola Marymount (8-4-3, 3-0-0), 2-1, in overtime on Saturday night at Knoles Field.
 
Although the Lions scored first late in the second half to take the lead, senior Andreas Charalambous found the equalizer just a few minutes later as the Tigers evened the score at one with 16 minutes remaining in regulation. Unfortunately, LMU netted the game-winner in the 97^th minute to secure the victory.
 
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

• Aiming to get back in the win column, the Tigers came out of the gates firing as Charalambous tallied the first shot of the match at the 2:11 mark.
• Looking to use the home crowd to their advantage, Pacific traded shots with LMU throughout the first half, but ultimately was unable to find momentum on the offensive end. However, UOP would outshoot the Lions, 5-4, in the first 45 minutes.

• Just like the first half, both teams continued to exchange shots as the clock ticked down, but neither were able to find the back of the net before the end of regulation. After the first 90 minutes, the match was tied at one heading into the first overtime period.
• Wasting little time, LMU scored the game-winning goal in the 97^th minute. Sadly, Pacific was defeated by a final score of 2-1.
• Charalambous led the Tiger attack with three shots on the night, followed by two shots each from Kamisasanuki and Orendain. Branche would also tally one shot in the loss to the Lions.
