Weekend Roundup: Both teams lose 2-1 in rough weekend

Both the men's and women's soccer team were dealt losing blows this weekend, as both squads lost their away matches by a final score of 2-1.

The men lost to #10 Hobart despite holding an early lead. In the 30th minute, forward Max Fan ('14) gave UR a 1-0 lead when he scored off an assist by midfielder Brian Knouse ('13).

But the Yellow Jackets couldn't hold the lead, as Hobart managed to tie it up seven minutes later and score the game-winner early in the second half.

For his second goal of the season, which gave UR an early lead, the Jackets' Nest Player of the Game goes to Max Fan ('14).

The outcome of the women's game against #15 Union was almost completely identical. UR took a 1-0 lead when midfielder Kathryn Rowe ('14) scored in the 26th minute.

Kathryn Rowe's first goal of the season was not enough for UR to win against #15 Union.
The 'Jackets carried their lead into the second half, but after 13 minutes of play in the second half, UR's lead was gone for good after two Union freshmen scored, making the score 2-1.

Union was able to hold on to their lead and the UR women took their first loss of the season.

For scoring her first goal of the year, the Jackets' Nest Player of the Game goes to Kathryn Rowe ('14).
