Missed Chances Plague Warriors Against Mighty Banyans

Babson Park, FL – The Webber International Men's Soccer team battled through a chippy first half before falling 2–0 to unbeaten New College of Florida on Saturday in Babson Park. The Warriors generated a pair of looks through Jesús Pérez and José Dlima while keeper Álvaro García turned away three shots to keep it level at the break. Fouls piled up early (WIU 8, NCF 6 in the first 45) as both sides wrestled for territory and set-piece chances.

NCF finally broke through six minutes after halftime when Cameron Johnson found the net at 51:10 for the match's first goal. Webber pushed back with efforts from Gregor Graham in the 47th and 63rd minutes and a late corner-driven header from Tyler Keating in the 87th, but Seahawk keeper Mathis Lévêque (3 saves) held firm. The second half tightened further with two Webber cautions—Anton Kelly (77') and Emanuel Barajas (83')—as the visitors leaned on direct service and waves of subs to slow WIU's rhythm.

Chasing an equalizer in the final minutes, the Warriors earned a corner at 86:49 and nearly nicked one when Keating's header was saved at 87:05. NCF sealed it against the run of play at 89:21 through Andrés García to close out the non-conference result. García finished with six saves overall for WIU, including stops in the 53rd, 69th, and 81st minutes that kept the Warriors in striking distance.
