Men’s soccer defeated by Northwood University

The Florida College Falcons met with Northwood University of West Palm Beach, Fla. on Tuesday, September 2 in an afternoon match up. FC fell 8-0 to the Seahawks. Keeper junior David Barker had seven saves. Freshman John Taiwo took two shots on the Northwood goal; freshman Colin Gill and senior Tim Hanlon each shot one. FC fought aggressively, receiving two yellow cards during the game. “Last year they beat us 12-2, so going into the game we knew it would be tough. Fourteen of their players are from overseas, so they have a much more competitive program. It’s a four year school, so they are a lot older than most of us. We knew what to expect, but we didn’t step up and play at their level,” said sophomore Derek Davidson. Northwood goals were scored by players from five different countries.

The next game for the Falcon men will be Saturday, September 6 at 7:00 PM against NCAA Division II Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Fla.
