VMI Takes Early Lead but RMU Rallies for 2-1 win

The Keydets move to 2-11-1 overall

LEXINGTON, Va. – Despite an early goal from senior midfielder Tate Pospichal, the VMI men's soccer team fell 2-1 Wednesday to visiting Robert Morris University in a non-conference game from Patchin Field. Inside the Box Score:

  • Pospichal used his left foot to knock in a feed from sophomore Alexei Royar in the ninth minute to give VMI a 1-0 edge
  • Hugo Kadima (33:17) scored for RMU to tie the contest and Victor Koah scored the game winner at the 50:25 mark of the second half
  • VMI senior keeper Gabe Calhoun made four stops on the day
  • The Keydets fired seven shots, five in the second half

Looking Deeper:

  • VMI had a flurry of three shots with 19 minutes left to play with the Colonial keeper out of position, but the Robert Morris defense blocked each attempt.
  • Sophomore Cole Mooney fired the potential game-tying shot from just outside the box in the final minute but his attempt went just high.  

Next Time: The Keydets host Wofford College Saturday at 1 p.m. in a contest moved up from 3 p.m. The program's five seniors will be honored in a pre-match ceremony.
